<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Phytosterols

Cholesterol or LDL

Sterol and stanol esters, also go by the name<u> phytosterols</u> and help lower <u>blood cholesterol level or LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Phytosterols also known as plant sterol and stanol esters are naturally occuring compounds found in plant cell membranes. </u>
  • <em><u>When consumed, phytosterols, compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system since they are structurally similar to cholesterol. This will result in the blocking of cholesterol absorption thus reducing the amount of cholesterol in blood.</u></em>
  • Phytosterols have been found to lower total cholesterol and LDL or bad cholesterol in the blood. They are so effective and it is recommended for people with high cholesterol to consume 2 grams of phytosterols per day.

Two differences between hormones and the nervous system
leva [86]

Answer:

Hormones can be proteins, lipids or cholesterol-based molecules. Neurotransmitters are protein. The main difference between hormones and neurotransmitters is that Hormones are produced in the endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream where they find their movement targets at a distance from their origin. In contrast, Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic space by a terminal of an excited presynaptic nerve cell and transmit a nerve signal to the neighboring postsynaptic nerve cell.
