Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Steroids are the hydrophobic molecules that can be structurally characterised by the fused rings and -OH group. The steroids since are hydrophobic therefore are kept with the phospholipids.

A sterol which is present as a component of the lipid layer is known as the cholesterol. The cholesterol acts as a precursor to a variety of steroid hormone-like estrogens,  glucocorticoids, progestagens and many others.  The cholesterol also acts as precursor to vitamin D and bile acids in the body.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

Answer:

C.sterols

Explanation:

Sterols or steroid alcohols are type of lipids. In plants they are present as phytosterols and in animals as zoosterols. They maintain the fluidity of cell membrane, act as signalling molecules and also form the skin oils in animals.

Cholesterol is an important zoosterol. It is a fatty waxy substance. It is present in cell membrane. It is also a precursor for vitamin D. It is precursor for steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. When it is non esterified, it gets converted to bile.
