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:

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.

Which types of cells in the body would you expect to require the most atp? support your answers with evidence?

rewona [7]

The answer is muscle cells. This is because they are responsible for either voluntary movement (skeletal muscle) or involuntary movement (smooth muscle). This movement requires energy to power the movement of the actin and myosin action that is the core of every muscle. Each myosin has an ATP-binding site.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the somatic cells where two daughter cells are formed with the same number of chromosomes as the parent (diploid 2n). Meiosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the sex cells where four daughter cells are formed with half the number of chromosomes as the parent (haploid, n). In this case, if the gametes were formed by mitosis then it means they would have a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes.
