Cholesterol is the precursor of bile acid, steroid hormones and vitamin D.
prohormones. These prohormones are inactive and need to be cleaved or modified to become biologically active peptide hormones.
The various degradative pathways of catabolism are convergent. That is, many hundreds of different proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids are broken down into relatively few catabolic end products. The hundreds of anabolic pathways,however, are divergent. That is, the cell uses relatively few biosynthetic precursor molecules to synthesize a vast number of different proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids.
Scientist think a lot of different thing on the question of abiogenesis. From life beginning around hot smokers on the ocean floor, to the RNA world hypothesis on to extraterrestrial origins of life's precursor molecules. Google the Miller - Urey experiment and see the precursor molecules experiments and the latest work on abiogenesis in the links to the wiki article.
No they do not. Land plants do not contain ergosterol; the precursor to vitamin D production. Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin of mammals through exposure of the skin to sunlight. Vitamin D can also be ingested in suppliment form or from foods including yeasts and from mushrooms.
tryptophan is the amino acid precursor of niacin
Cholesterol is the precursor of bile acid, steroid hormones and vitamin D.
preprohormones
Plant Growth Regulators or PGRs are compounds used to control the growth of plants. The precursor molecules of PGRs are called phytohormones.
Because heme is low, the synthesis path continues to produce precursor molecules. Each porphyria corresponds with an enzyme defect and an amassing of associated precursor.
prohormones. These prohormones are inactive and need to be cleaved or modified to become biologically active peptide hormones.
lipids or fats are used for structural roles, precursor molecules, anchors for peripheral surface proteins, signalling molecules and of course energy source.
