If a biochemis t discovers a new molecule, which of the following pieces of data would allow her to draw the conclusion that the
molecule is not a steroid hormone? a. The molecule is not lipid soluble b. The molecule is not derived from a series of steps beginning with cholesterol c. The molecule acts at a target tissue some distance from where it is produced
a. The molecule is not lipid soluble b. The molecule is not derived from a series of steps beginning with cholesterol
Explanation:
All the steroid hormones have a four ring sterol nucleus in their structure. These hormones are soluble in lipids. Steroid hormones are produced by the pathways using cholesterol as the starting substance. Some of the examples of steroid hormones are aldosterone, calcitriol, estrogens, and progesterone. Therefore, if the given molecule is not soluble in lipids and is not derived from cholesterol, it cannot be a steroid hormone.
Due to the laws of motion the airbag causes force in the other direction while the person is moving forward, thus trying to equal out the force acting apon the person to make them stay in place.
