Steroid molecules are complex structures that include four connected rings of carbon atoms. Among the more important steroids are cholesterol, which is in all body cells and is used to synthesize other steroids; sex hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone; and several other hormones from the adrenal glands.

Lipid are classified into two main forms saturated and unsaturated what are they saturated with?

Lipids that are saturated do not have double bonded hydrogen atoms to the carbon skeleton of the molecule. Instead, the molecule has all of its available spaces filled with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to each open carbon atom of the molecule. To make it simple, saturated lipids are saturated with hydrogen.

How many hydrogen atoms are there in an alkaline molecule with ten carbon atom's?

In an alkane molecule with ten carbon atoms, the general formula is C10H22. Each carbon atom forms four bonds, leaving 22 hydrogen atoms to satisfy the valency requirement of carbon. So, there are 22 hydrogen atoms in an alkane molecule with ten carbon atoms.


How many atoms in a molecule of carbon?

Molecule of Carbon????? Carbon is an ATOM in its own right. However, atoms of carbon have the ability toi catenate and form allotropes of carbon. viz;- #1 ; Graphite . Any number of carbon atoms combine covalently to form sheets of graphite. #2 ; Diamond. Any number of carbon atoms combine covalently , but in an adamantine structure to form diamond. #3 ; Buckminster Fullerene (Footballene) 60 atoms of carbon combine covelently to form a sphereical football like structure.
