Answer:

C. Cholesterol

Explanation:

Cholesterol maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane and thereby, regulates its function.

Bile acids are derived from cholesterol which serves as their precursor. For example, Taurocholic acid is a polar derivative of cholesterol. Bile acids serve in the absorption of fatty acids, glycerol, and fat-soluble vitamins as these compounds are non-polar in nature.  

Vitamin D is produced when the derivative of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol undergoes photolysis in skin cells in presence of sunlight.

Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish
Olin [163]


The best answer is A

Saltwater fish are hypotonic to their surroundings. This means their blood has a higher water concentration than the surrounding sea water.

Due to the fact that there is more salt and less water outside their bodies, there is a tendency to take in salt and lose water.

To counter this, salt water fish drink a lot of the sea water and urinate very little. Special cells in the gills actively eliminate salt at the cost of extra energy and these fishes do not absorb any salt from the water they drink.
