Cholesterol is any of a class of certain organic molecules. A cholesterol is a sterol, a type of lipid. Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells and is an essential structural component of animal cell membranes. When chemically isolated, it is a yellowish crystalline solid. What is a...
Unlike eukaryotic plasma membrane, they lack sterols (except inMycoplasma), and comparatively have a higher proportion of proteins. In place of sterols, they have sterol-like compounds, called ‘hapanoids’. They contain a wide variety of fatty acids like usual saturated and unsaturated types and...
We shall therefore narrow our definition to include only those compounds which are esters of long chain fatty acids. Therefore large groups of biochemically interesting lipids such as the steroids and terpenes will not be covered, although our definition necessitates inclusion of, for example, the ...
Fatty acids are a major component of lipids, oils and fats. They are composed of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxylic acid functional group at the last.Answer and Explanation: Triacylglycerol or triglyceride is a lipid molecule having three fatty acid units. They are present in ...
Which of the following compounds have the same physical properties? What are the basic features of El and Cl mode of ionization? What is their major difference? The chemistry of lithium is very much similar to that of magnesium, even though they are placed in different groups. Explain. ...
Like other compounds in the azole class, posaconazole disrupts fungal ergosterol biosynthesis through inhibition 14a-lanosterol demethylation. Currently, the only available preparation is an immediate-release oral suspension containing polysorbate 80 as an emulsifying agent. Posaconazole demonstrates potent ...
combination of estrogen plus progestogens such as used in birth control pills and menopausal hormonal replacement therapy does not tend to worsen mood because the compounds are neutralizing each other. There are some women who are more sensitive to certain hormones so their doses may need to be ...
Recent studies have revealed that some CMs and their effective compounds can reprogram AA metabolism and inhibit renal fibrosis. The total flavonoids in epimedium (TFE) are the main bioactive components ofSedum sarmentosumBunge (Yin yang huo). TFE regulate the glycine, serine, and threonine metabolic...
What are neuroglial cells? Give their functions. View Solution Recognize the compounds from their common names given below : (i) Grape sugar (ii) Fruit sugar (iii) Brain sugar (iv) Malt sugar (v) Cane or table sugar (vi) Milk sugar (vii) Plant sterol or phytoerol (viii) Earwax (ix...
Aromatic Compounds: Aromatic compounds are used in many pharmaceuticals, dyes, perfumes, paints, polymer and many organic synthesis reactions as a reagent due to their reactivity and stable resonating forms. Answer and Explanation:1 According to Huckels rule, if the planar cyclic structure is present...
