Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroids act as signaling molecules that regulate various physiological processes. While they are involved in regulation of sexual function, tissue metabolism, mineral balance, and are structural components of the plasma membrane, they are not a significant energy reserve for the body. Glycogen and triglycerides serve as the primary energy reserves. Steroids are not required for normal processing of dietary fats either.
