2. Dr. Haxton told one of his students, “To move in the bloodstream, fats need the help of phospholipids.” What would a good student say?

A. Yes. Nonpolar molecules aren’t compatible with water.You have it backwards. Fats help phospholipids to travel.

B. Sorry, Dr. Haxton! Help comes from cholesterol, not phospholipids.

C. Not so. Fats are small enough to travel easily without help.

D. Right. Fats are too polar to travel alone in water.

Answer: Sorry, Dr. Haxton! Help comes from cholesterol, not phospholipids.
