________ are large lipid molecules with distinctive carbon-ring frameworks.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroids are a class of lipids that have distinctive carbon-ring frameworks. Eicosanoids are lipids derived from arachidonic acid and have a variety of biological functions, but they do not have carbon-ring frameworks that are as distinctive as those of steroids. Phospholipids and glycolipids are also lipids, but they have different structures and functions than steroids. Micelles are not lipids, but instead are aggregates of amphipathic molecules such as lipids.
