Question
Chapter 12.8, Problem 12.24YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The only differences between men and women due to a carbon atom and a few hydrogen atoms has to be elaborated based on the molecular structures and properties of estradiol and testosterone, as well as the role of other hormones found in males and females.
Concept Introduction:
Steroid: Steroids are a type of organic compound having a molecular structure with four rings connected to each other.
There are three types of steroids. They are mineralcorticoids, glucocorticoids and sex hormones.
There are mainly three female sex hormones namely estrone, estradiol and progesterone.
Androgens are the two important male sex hormones namely testosterone and androsterone.
