Chapter 26, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The biological importance of cholesterol should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The steroid can be defined as a biologically active organic compound that has four rings organized in a definite molecular configuration. The steroid core structure consists of seventeen carbon atoms. These carbon atoms are bonded in four rings. Steroids generally show variation due to the presence of functional groups attached to the core ring and by its oxidation state. Cholesterol is a type of steroid.

How are drugs absorbed through inhalation? Please give the key pharmacokinetic ideas of pulmonary absorption including references to lipid solubility.
The carbon-nitrogen peptide bond is rigid, but rotation can take place about the bond between the nitrogen and a-carbon atoms and the bond between the a-carbon and the carbonyl carbon atom. These bond angles define the conformation of the peptide chain.
