Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of androgen and progestin has to be drawn.
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.
(b)
Interpretation:
Similar structural features of androgen and progestin have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Difference in structure of androgen and progestin has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
Biological activity of androgen and progestin has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
