Question
Chapter 24.1, Problem 24.1KCP
Interpretation Introduction
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

What structural features do a triacylglycerol and a phosphatidylethanolamine have in common? How do the structures of these two types of lipids differ?
Homocystinuria is caused by a defect in cystathionine beta-synthase (or 13-synthase), which leads to an accumulation of homocysteine in the blood. This accumulation causes symptoms such as a tall, thin frame, flushed cheeks, and osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). These individuals should limit their intake of proteins that contain methionine, such as egg whites. Using your understanding of biochemistry, explain why people with Homocystinuria should not consume egg whites and other such proteins.
