Question

steroids are another type of lipid. steroids function as chemical messengers that regulate processes in the body like growth and development. the model shows the chemical structure of a steroid. steroids have carbon atoms arranged in six - atom or five - atom rings. but like in this model, people dont always label the carbon atoms. select the true statements. steroids have carbon atoms arranged in rings. steroids help regulate growth in the body. steroids contain nitrogen atoms.

Explanation:

1. The text clearly states "Steroids have carbon atoms arranged in six - atom or five - atom rings", so the statement "Steroids have carbon atoms arranged in rings" is true.
2. It is mentioned that "Steroids function as chemical messengers that regulate processes in the body like growth and development", so "Steroids help regulate growth in the body" is true.
3. Looking at the chemical structure provided, there are no nitrogen atoms visible, so the statement "Steroids contain nitrogen atoms" is false.

Answer:

Steroids have carbon atoms arranged in rings.
Steroids help regulate growth in the body.
