Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The small differences in the structures of cholesterol and cholate have to be identified. It should be determined that whether the roles of these molecules be reversed or not.
Concept introduction:
Cholesterol: it is a soft, fat-like, waxy substance found in the blood stream and all our body’s cells. It is an essential component of mammalian cell membranes where it is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity. It is the principal sterol synthesized by animals.
Cholate is a salt or ester of cholic acid. It is associated with choleic acid in the bile
Sterols are steroid alcohol which is occurring naturally in plants, animals and in
