Question

Biology which statement applies to cholesterol?
A. It is hydrophobic and found on the outside of the phospholipid biyaler
B. It is hydrophilic and found inside the phospholipid bilayer
C. It impacts membrane fluidity.
D. It is transported in association with glucose in the blood.

Answer 1

The true statement about cholesterol is that; " It impacts membrane fluidity."

Cholesterol is one of the steroids in the body and serves as a constituent of many hormones. Cholesterol consists of a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic part hence it is able to interact both with aqueous and nonpolar environments.

Cholesterol impacts membrane fluidity in the sense that it regulates the direction of membrane fluidity. At high temperatures, cholesterol raises the membrane temperature whereas at high temperatures, it intercalates between phospholipids thereby preventing stiffening.
