3) Biological molecules and their chemical properties affect cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Your]cousin mentions that your uncle is on a low cholesterol diet. "He is trying to eradicate all cholesterol from his body," says your cousin. Focusing your argument on cell membranes, explain why the body cannot function without cholesterol.
