Answer: c. steroids

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a long chain polycyclic alcohol, considered a steroid, found in cell membranes and transported in the blood plasma of animals. It is the main sterol synthesized in animal tissue. Cholesterol is excreted through bile acids as salts to the intestine. Free cholesterol can also be released with bile and most of this cholesterol is reabsorbed in the intestines, returning to circulation, returning to the liver.

Cholesterol esters are more hydrophobic than free cholesterol and are transported in the blood via lipoproteins, mainly by LDL and to a lesser extent by HDL and VLDV.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Red blood cell in humans - it has no nucleus. Hence it offers the cell to carry more haemoglobin.

- they are disc shaped allowing them to pass through narrow capillaries.

Root hair cells in plants- they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.

White Blood Cells in humans - they have lobed nucleus and so can change their shape to pass through narrow capillaries.
