Question
Steroids are lipids synthesized from alkaloids
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is false. Steroids are lipids, but they are synthesized from a specific lipid precursor called cholesterol (which is itself a steroid). Alkaloids are a different class of nitrogen-containing organic compounds found in plants.
Hint
Are steroids made from cholesterol or from plant alkaloids?
