Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liver takes up HDLs (high-density lipoproteins) and uses them to make bile. Bile is important for the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Option B is incorrect as the small intestine does not make bile but receives it from the liver. Option C is incorrect as red bone marrow produces red and white blood cells, not platelets. Option D is incorrect as yellow bone marrow is responsible for storing fat, not utilizing it. Finally, option E is incorrect as the liver does not use LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) but instead plays a role in their clearance from the bloodstream.
