Answer:

A) Fatty acids

Explanation:

Sterols are the organic compounds composed of the four rings fused together, an attached hydrocarbon chain and the characteristic functional group called -OH group attached to the ring.

The steroids are the compounds which contain the fused rings (a feature of sterol) and the attached -OH group. The presence of the hydrophobic chain provide makes them insoluble in water which is considered a characteristic feature of the lipids. Therefore the steroids are considered the lipid molecule or fatty acid-containing molecules.

The cholesterol is the most common type of sterol present in the organism, especially in the animal and plants.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

White meat contains less syoglobin than red meat. Red meat contains more ( slow-twitch / fast-twitch) muscles than white meat do
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Slow-twitch

Explanation:

Red meat is rich in slow-twitch muscle fibers. The slow-twitch muscle fibers are rich in myoglobin and blood capillaries. They also have many large mitochondria to generate ATP by aerobic respiration.

These fibers are slow-twitch fibers as the ATPase in myosin head carries out the hydrolysis of ATP at a slower rate causing a slower contraction cycle.

Slow-twitch fibers appear red due to a large amount of myoglobin and a rich network of blood vessels. They are capable of prolonged contractions and are fatigue resistant.
