Which type of lipid is found in the body and is converted into vitamins, hormones, and bile salts?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

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.

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.

During photosynthesis, plant leaves take in carbon dioxide through _______ in their leaves. a stomata b xylem c phloem
Iteru [2.4K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Stomata

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Photosynthesis refers to the process that takes place in green plants and some algae.
  • During the process, water and carbon dioxide are converted to nutrients or organic compounds using energy from sunlight.
  • The process takes place in the chloroplast on the leaves of green plants.
  • The water used during photosynthesis comes from the soil and then transported by xylem tissue to the leaves where the process takes place.
  • Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through the stomata which are the sites for gaseous exchange.
  • Sunlight is trapped by green pigments on the leaves known as chlorophyll.

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?
Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
