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

Both fats and steroids are a form of lipids with different structure and functions.

Explanation:

Both fats and steroids are a form of lipids with different structure and functions.

The structure of fats consists of fatty acid (which is a long chain of carbons with a carboxyl group attached to its one end) and glycerol while steroid has four fused ring structure with base of carbon. Out of the four fused ring , three are six membered ring while one is five membered ring.

Steroid is very essential for the metabolic processes and immunity within the body while fats store energy and protect vital body organ

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
