Which of the following are characteristics of cholesterol?
1) It is a weakly amphipathic, rigid substance.
2) It is the precursor for all steroidal hormones.
3) It packs neatly with the fatty acid tails of membrane
bilayers.
4) It is part of the lipid family of biomolecules.
Multiple answers are correct.
Homework Answers
The properties listed in options 1 ,2, and 4 are correct.
* It has a hydroxyl group that can form bonds, the bulky hydrocarbon chain with its ring structure is rigid
* Most of the steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. It is precursor for Vitamin - D also
