Answer 2

A. how cholesterol works in the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know the precise structure of a molecule (by X-ray crystallography), we can understand more about how it interacts with cells, proteins, and other molecules. It can also tell us what reactions it might take part in.

Therefore, we can learn more about how it works in the body and what activities it takes part in in the cells of the body.
