  B) LDL values obtained from the Friedewald equation do not include the concentration of solid, crystalline LDL.
  C) The calculation does not take into account interfering concentrations of gaseous CO2.
  D) The Friedewald equation assumes that nearly all the circulating TG is in VLDLs.

Question 2

A solution of pure water is placed on the left side of a chamber. A solution of 10 mol/L glucose in water is placed on the right side of the chamber. A semi-permeable membrane that only permits water to pass is placed between the two chambers.

  A) The water moves because it is attracted to the negatively charged glucose molecules.
  B) The water moves to absorb the free glucose molecules.
