Cholesterol is an organic steroid in mammalian cells that controls membrane permeability and fluidity. How many hydrigens

Biology

There are 46 atoms of hydrogen inside the cholesterol.

The formula of cholesterol is C27H46O, meaning that besides hydrogen it contains 27 atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen.

Cholesterol can be found in large concentrations within the liver, spinal cord, and brain providing the stability of the cell membranes.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question would be:

"Cholesterol is an organic steroid in mammalian cells that controls membrane permeability and fluidity. How many hydrigens are in cholesterol?"

Answer:

46

Explanation:

Cholesterol contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and its molecular form is C27H46O, which means that cholesterol has 27 carbon atoms and 46 hydrogen atoms. Its structure consists of a region of 4 hydrocarbon rings attached to a hydroxyl group at one end and a hydrocarbon tail at the other. The hydroxyl group is the only hydrophilic part of the molecule, which makes it insoluble in blood as mentioned above.

The structure of cholesterol can be seen in the image below.

The period of development is the time from conception to birth. (Watch your spelling!)
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Prenatal period.

Explanation:

Two main types of reproduction that exist in living organisms are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. The fusion of the male and female gamete leads to the formation of zygote in case of sexual reproduction.

The prenatal period may be defined as the time development required for the fetal to grow in the womb. The prenatal period starts from the conception and remains till the birth of the child. Three main stages of prenatal period are germinal stage, embryonic stage and fetal stage.

Please help, its for a test!
SVEN [57.7K]

(hi, i dont know about this one personally, but i found an answer somewhere else on the internet thatll hopefully help u)

Answer: They consist of long chains of C, H, and O.

Explanation:

In terms of chemical composition, lipids differ from nucleic acids and proteins because they mostly just contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (except for phospholipids which of course contain phosphorous). In addition to those elements, proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, and nucleic acids contain nitrogen and phosphorous.

Carbohydrates share the C, H, and O composition as lipids, but they differ in structure. Lipids are generally exist as triglycerides, which consist of a triple hydroxyl alcohol (glycerol) that has bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) in a triple condensation reaction. Carbohydrates on the other hand are made of carbon ring structures that either remain alone or polymerize into long polysaccharide chains.

Explain how dysfunction at one level of organization impacts other levels and provide an example.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of four level of organizations namely: cell, tissue, organs, organ system and ultimately, the organism. These levels of organization are interrelated in such a way that CELLS accumulate to form TISSUE, TISSUES accumulate to form ORGAN, ORGANS accumulate to form ORGAN SYSTEM.

Since one level is dependent on a lower level, a dysfunction in one level will cause the dysfunction of another level. For example, a dysfunction in LIVER CELLS will cause the LIVER TISSUES formed from the cells to be dysfunctional. This dysfunctionality will extend to the LIVER as an organ and cause issues in the EXCRETORY SYSTEM (an organ system that constitutes the liver organ).
