Answer from: caseychandler030418

They do not dissolve in water

Explanation:

Sterols and triglycerides are both a type lipid. Lipids are biomolecules that are insoluble in polar solvents like water, but are soluble in non polar solvents such as chloroform, ether and alcohol. Lipids, together with other macromolecules, protein and carbohydrate, constitute to form the plant and animal cells.

Sterols are a class of lipids that play a vital role in plant and animal cell, example such sterols are cholesterol and other plant sterols like phytosterols.

Triglycerides are stored as fats in the adipose tissue and they play a major role in providing energy.

Sterols and triglycerides are both lipids.Sterols and triglycerides do not dissolve in water.

Explanation:

Sterols and triglycerides are both lipids in the body. Based on the chemical make up, lipids are non-polar compounds. This means that they cannot be dissolved in polar solvents like water. This is the reason people say "oil and water don't mix". non-polar compounds cannot be dissolved by polar solvents such as water.

Both sterols and triglycerides share this non polar nature because they belong to the lipid family.

Answer from: Quest

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.
