Question

In what ways are fats and steroids similar to each other and in what ways are they different?

Be specific in your comparison, being sure to discuss both structure and function.

Answer 1

Well, Steroids and fats are both lipids and are both hydrophobic because there both non polar. And differences are that they serve different functions in the body because fat is used for energy and fat soluble nutrient storage where steroids effect neurotransmission.

Answer 2

They are both Lipids - Hydrophobic molecules with a C, H and O. Steroids have many non-polar C-H bombs so insoluable water.
But fats store potential energy molecules ans=d steroids function as messengers across cell memranes.
