Answer to Question 1

C
Cholesterol travels in the bloodstream in lipoproteins that contain lipids and proteins. Bile salts are made from cholesterol. Cholesterol forms plaques when it is deposited in blood vessels. Blood cells carry oxygen (red blood cells) or are part of the immune system (white cells) but do not carry cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

D
Peripheral vascular disease occurs when atherosclerosis causes blockages in the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries, and femoral arteries. Blockage of cerebral arteries causes stroke. Blockage of myocardial arteries causes heart attack. Blockage of the other arteries is less common.
