Steroids are examples of what organic compound?
Lipids
Why are the compounds classified as lipids?
OK lipids do not suck as answered previously....The compounds called lipids are grouped together because they share one important trait: They have little or no affinity for water. The hydrophobic behavior of lipids is based on their molecular structure. Although they may have some polar bonds associated with oxygen, lipids consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Smaller than true (polymeric) macromolecules, lipids are a highly varied group in both form and function. Lipids include waxes and certain pigments, but we will focus on the most biologically important types of lipids: fats, phospholipids, and steroids.
Are steroids proteins carbohydrates or lipids?
Steroids are a type of lipid. They are characterized by a structure that includes four interconnected carbon rings. Steroids serve various functions in the body, including as signaling molecules and as components of cell membranes.
What is a group of chemicals that contain fats waxes and steroids?
Lipids are a group of chemicals that contain fats, waxes, and steroids. Lipids are essential for many biological processes, such as energy storage, cell membrane structure, and hormone production.
The smooth ER is especially abundant in cells that synthesize extensive amounts of?
lipids and steroids. The smooth ER plays a key role in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes in the cell. It lacks ribosomes and is involved in synthesizing lipids, phospholipids, and steroids.
Anabolic steroids used by some athletes are compounds that would be classified as?
Lipids!
Are steroids lipids?
No, steroids belong to lipids, but not all lipids are steroids: eg. natural fats or oils are triglyceridic lipids, not steroidic lipids
Why are compounds classified as lipids?
Compounds are classified as lipids because they are hydrophobic molecules that are insoluble in water. Lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids, and they play key roles in energy storage, cell structure, and signaling within organisms.
Are steroids carbohydrates?
No, steroids are lipids.
What type of molecules are in steroids?
Steroids are lipids.
Class of lipids which includes cholesterol and sex hormones?
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
Which macromolecul includes steroids?
lipids
What macromolecule is sex hormones?
Steroids are a class of lipid molecules that have 4 carbon rings.
Are steroids classified as a narcotic?
No, steroids are considered a stimulant.
What hormones are lipids derive from cholesterol?
steroids
What macromolecule includes steroids?
Lipids, such as cholesterol.
Are steroids hydrophilic?
No. They are soluble in lipids
