What else can I help you with?
A glucose molecule is to starch as steroid to....?
lipid
The suffix that denotes a steroid molecule?
One
Are steroid hormones proteins?
No, steroid hormones are not proteins. They are a type of lipid molecule that are derived from cholesterol.
The most important steroid molecule is?
Cholesterol is the most important steroid molecule because it serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other essential steroids in the body, including hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. Additionally, cholesterol is a key component of cell membranes and plays a crucial role in maintaining cell structure and function.
What is a steroid molecule that is responsible for cardiovascular disease if consumed in large amounts?
Cholesterol
What large organic molecule is not assembled by polymerization?
a steroid, Had this question in my Biology homework =)
What is an example of a signal molecule that can bind to an intracellular receptor and thereby cause a gene to be turned on or off?
One example is the steroid hormone cortisol. Cortisol can diffuse across the cell membrane and bind to intracellular receptors called glucocorticoid receptors. This complex can then enter the nucleus and regulate the expression of specific genes, turning them on or off.
Cholesterol while it is not an energy molecule has importance in the body because?
is a stabilizing component of the plasma membranes and is the parent molecule of steroid hormonesJordanM.
What is an example of a non steroid hormone?
Glucagon
What is a calciferol?
A calciferol is another name for vitamin D3 - a steroid molecule with one open ring.
What important molecule is derived from cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a precursor for other important steroid molecules: the bile salts, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. -Gem :) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22339/
What are the product of a steroid hydrolysis?
The products of steroid hydrolysis typically include free fatty acids and alcohols, as the hydrolysis process involves the breakdown of ester bonds in steroid esters. This can lead to the formation of hydroxyl groups where the esterified groups were located, resulting in various steroid derivatives. Additionally, depending on the specific steroid and conditions, other metabolites may also be produced. Overall, hydrolysis alters the structure and function of the steroid molecule.
