Which statement regarding cholesterol is false? It is the precursor for steroid hormones. It is not usually a component of eukar
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It is not usually a component of eukaryotic membranes.

Explanation:

Cholesterol is responsible for modulating the fluidity of the cell membranes of eukaryotes.

It is produced in most animal cells, and its formation is substantially active in <u>liver</u> cells, where bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol.

In addition, cholesterol is the precursor of steroid hormones such as progesterone, testosterone, estradiol and cortisol.

Cholesterol (like other lipids) is <u>amphipathic</u>, meaning it has a polar head (hydrophilic) and an apolar tail (hydrophobic).

Given the above, it can be concluded that the false statement is "it is not usually a component of eukaryotic membranes".
