Answer:
The correct answer is cholesterol is nonpolar.
Explanation:
Cholesterol is a complex lipid is synthesized from acetyl CoA.cholesterol is an important constituent of plasma membrane.
Cholesterol is non polar in nature.As a result cholesterol is repelled by water and can be found between the layers of the phospholipid in the plasma membrane.
As cholesterol is non polar it is also hydrophobic in nature.
Take for example - you touching something sharp and instantly moving your hand away.
Sensory neurons in your fingers detect the external stimuli of the sharp object and send a nerve impulse to the spinal cord (does not reach brain) and is sent back to a motor neurone - attached to an effector that moves the muscle and moves the hand away. This is a rapid reflex action and involuntary.
