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.

Answer:

The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.

Explanation:

The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.

If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, i<em>t will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer.</em> Therefore, this model is not feasible.

One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. <em>The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient.</em> It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model.<em> Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.</em>
