Answer:
Fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acids, they contain the carboxyl, COOH, functional group. The general formula for a fatty acid is R-COOH where R represents a long hydrocarbon chain. If the hydrocarbon chain, R, contains only single bonds between the carbon atoms, the fatty acid is said to be saturated.
The correct answer is option I) Steroid hormones are lipid soluble and easily cross the phospholipid bilayer.
The steroid hormones are made up of steroid molecules, the steroid molecules are hydrophobic and lipid soluble. This property makes help the steroid molecule to cross the phospholipid bilayer membrane easily. The steroid molecule has a direct influence on the genome transcription, they act by binding with the DNA as a transcriptional factor.
The correct answer is hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus refers to the condition in which the accumulation of fluid takes place in the ventricles (cavities) deep inside the brain. The excess fluid enhances the size of the ventricles and applies pressure on the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid usually flows via the ventricles and bathes the spinal column and the brain.
