The body's cholesterol is made in the liver.
It is used in the liver to make bile acids where they are then stored in the gall bladder. Bile acids are used to dissolve fats from the food.
In addition, you should know,
Total cholesterol is composed of HDL and LDL. One is "good" cholesterol, and the other is bad.
Bad cholesterol is made when the diet consists of too many fried foods and preferring well-done proteins, not simply because of saturated fats.
It is best to roast, stew, boil or steam meats, or grill to medium only. Eggs should be soft boiled or soft scrambled.
Bad cholesterol is also made from trans fats in diet, and also too many refined carbohydrates.
The goal is to have as much as possible of the "good" cholesterol, even if that means your total cholesterol number reaches 350. Thousands of Eskimo indians have demonstrated it's the healthiest range of total cholesterol.
Cholesterol synthesis and breakdown does not take place in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes cholesterol and fat.
cytoplasm of hepatocites
It produces proteins in the cell. It provides surface for synthesis.
Endoplasmic reticulum because ribosomes are present in it OR we can also say the cell organelle ribosomes because they are sites of protein synthesis
In prokaryotes, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, RNA is produced in the cells nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to play a role in the production of protein.
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. This is where mRNA is read and a sequence of amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide/protein.
Because protein synthesis is taking place.
the smooth endoplasmic reticulum has the role in cholesterol synthesis, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs
Yes, cholesterol is important in the synthesis of sex hormones.
Biosynthesis in the"liver" accounts for approximately 10% of the cholesterol produced each day. Cholesterol synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm and microsomes.Related link:http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/cholesterol.html
Protein Synthesis takes place in the ribosomes and in the mitochondria of a cell.
In the Nucleolus.
Cholesterol is either absorbed from food or made in the body. This synthesis can take place in most cells in the body including the cells of the heart, however cholesterol does not only come from the heart. Cholesterol can lead to clogging of arteries around the heart leading to heart problems.
I believe it takes place in the Nucleous
In the cytoplasm.
Smooth ER
In the cytosol

On the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cellRibosomes
