Interpretation:
The structural difference between testosterone and nandrolone hormones should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Steroids are types of lipids which consist of three 6-membered rings and one 5-membered ring. These all rings together are said to be steroid nucleus. Other polar and non-polar groups are bonded with these rings and are responsible for different physical and chemical properties of steroids.
Many steroids act as hormones in living organisms. A hormone can be defined as the

- a-Lipids are organic compounds found in every type of plant and animal cell. They always contain the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but the relative amount of oxygen is less than in carbohydrates. Summarise the structure and function of 4 different types of lipids in living organism by completing provided Table. Structure Property Function Lipid Fatty acidarrow_forwardA lipid is any substance of biochemical origin that is soluble in water but insoluble in nonpolar solvents (() insoluble in both nonpolar solvents and water soluble in nonpolar solvents but insoluble in water soluble in both water and nonpolar solvents is always a solid at room temperaturearrow_forward1.Triglycerides that are solids at room temperature are called 2.Compounds that differ in configuration around only one specific carbon atom with the exception of the carbonyl carbon are defined as 3.A multipurpose proteins with at least two identical proteins is referred to as 4. Compounds that are mirror images of themselves are referred to as 5. Triacylglycerol with two or three different fatty acids is called 6. In multisubunit protein with at least two identical proteins, the identical proteins are referred to as 7. A triacylgycerol in which all the three fatty acid groups are the same is called 8. The non-amino acid part of conjugate protein is usually called 9. A solution that contains a weak acid and it's conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid that resist changes in pH upon addition of acid or base is calledarrow_forward
