Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Rings of the cholesterol steroid have to be labeled.
Concept Introduction:
Group of lipids that consist of 1 five-membered ring and 3 six-membered rings in its skeleton structure are called steroids. Steroids differ with each other in terms of the attachment of the substituent and thus this changes their identity. The skeleton structure of steroid is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
Carbon number to that
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Location of double bond in cholesterol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
Polar bonds in cholesterol and insolubility of cholesterol in water have to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
