What is good about fatty acids?
You should find that many of your hormones are made from cholesterol. Have some research!
What kind of molecules are most hormones?
There are several types.Some are proteins,,Some are ammines and some are steroids
What are some modulators of membrane fluidity?
Some moderators of membrane fluidity are the proteins embedded in it and cholesterol molecules also.
Some hormones enter cells via?
Some hormones enter cells by the process of endocytosis. Endocytosis is where cells absorb molecules. All cells in the body use this process.
What hormone based does diabetes have?
what are some hormones that deal with diabetes
What is the function of the cholesterol molecules shown in transparency?
When you hear the word cholesterol, the first thing you probably think of is that it is bad. However, cholesterol is actually a very important component of cell membranes. Cholesterol molecules are made up of four rings of hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are hydrophobic and are found among the hydrophobic tails in the lipid bi-layer. Cholesterol molecules are important for maintaining the consistency of the cell membrane. They strengthen the membrane by preventing some small molecules from crossing it. Cholesterol molecules also keep the phosphoric tails from coming into contact and solidifying. This ensures that the cell membrane stays fluid and flexiblePLEASE ADD MORE
Does fat form important components of blood and some hormones?
Lipids (fats) are the basis of cholesterol which is the base of all other hormones. Fats do not play a significant role in blood components, protein does.
Cholestorol is a type of lipid?
Cholesterol is a type of lipid. Lipids are a group of hydrophobic molecules, which includes fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids, cholesterol, and some other related compounds.
Why is cholesterol so important to your body?
Importance of Cholesterol to the BodyCholesterol is required to build and maintain cell membranes; it regulates membrane fluidity over a wider range of temperatures. Some research indicates that cholesterol may act as an antioxidant. Cholesterol also aids in the manufacture of bile (which is stored in the gallbladder and helps digest fats), and is also important for the metabolism of fat soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E and K. It is the major precursor for the synthesis of vitamin D and of the various steroid hormones (which include cortisol and aldosterone in the adrenal glands, and the sex hormones progesterone, the various estrogens, testosterone, and derivatives).11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol
What are some examples of complex lipids?
phospholipids, glycero phosphilipids, and sphingophospholipids
How the cell look like if it has no cholesterol?
without cholesterol, cell membranes would be too fluid, not firm enough and too permeable to some molecules , in other words it keep the membrane form turning to mush
What would happen if cholesterol is removed from the cell membrane?
without cholesterol, cell membranes would be too fluid, not firm enough and too permeable to some molecules , in other words it keep the membrane form turning to mush
