Phospholipids differ from triglycerides in which of the following ways


Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 269 People


Steroids differ structurally from triglycerides and phospholipids, although they are all classified as lipids. What characteristics cause steroids to be classified as lipids? Choose ALL that apply.

Answered by admin @



Answer:

Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules that make up the structure of living beings. Few examples are fats, oils and waxes. Steroids are also a class of lipids but they are not structurally related to other lipids but do share some common properties with them. They are insoluble in water and are hydrophobic( water-repelling).

Explanation:

Lipids are insoluble in water as they are non-polar but soluble in non polar solvents (chloroform). Fat soluble vitamins like A,D,E,K and steroids have a different structure composed of fused four rings.

The most common example of steroid is cholesterol. Cholesterol acts as a precursor for many hormones and other signalling molecules.
