What are the three major lipid groups?
# Steroids # cholesterol # triglyceride
What are the functional groups of steroids?
Lots and lots of different ones, depending on the steroid...
Chemically hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups called?
Chemically hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups. The two groups are the steroids and the amino acid based molecules.
What are the 3 groups of complex lipids?
phospholipids, glycero phosphilipids, and sphingophospholipids
Why are steroids classified as lipids?
They are Steroids, which are not soluble in water.
Steroids are what?
Steroids are a class of chemical compounds characterized by four rings of carbon atoms linked in a specific way. Depending on what particular functional groups are hanging off the rings, they have a wide variety of effects in biological systems. Many hormones are steroids. Examples include testosterone, estrogen, and cortisone.
What kind of drug is a steriod?
A steroid is a terpenoid lipid characterized by a carbon skeleton with four fused rings, generally arranged in a 6-6-6-5 fashion. Steroids vary by thefunctional groups attached to these rings and the oxidation state of the rings. Hundreds of distinct steroids are found in plants, animals, and fungi. All steroids are made in cells either from the sterol lanosterol (animals and fungi) or the sterol cycloartenol (plants). Bothsterols are derived from the cyclization of the triterpene squalene.
What is the scientific name of the drug steroids?
The scientific name for steroids is corticosteroids or anabolic-androgenic steroids, depending on the type of steroid being referred to.
What are oral steroids?
Orale steroids are steroids that are not injected by a needle.Orale steroids are taken as tablets.But it has been said that orale steroids cause more side effects than normal ones
What is the chemical composition of a steroid?
well anabolic steroids are made of testosteronemedical steroids can be made of many things depending on the medicine... like a cortisone shot, that is steroids and the main ingredient is a ranging dose of cortisone
What is a comparison of the structure of triglycerides phospholipids and steroids?
Triglycerides are composed of three molecules of the alcohol glycerol. Phospholipids have two, rather than three, fatty acids attached to the molecule of glycerol. Steroids are composed of four fused carbon rings with various functional groups attached to them.
Is a hormone a steroid?
Every hormone is NOT a steroid. Steroids are produced by the Adrenal Cortex. Hormones are divided into two groups, Steroids and Proteins.
