Final answer:

Hopanoids are likely present in a bacterium with lipopolysaccharide.


Explanation:

Yes, hopanoids are expected in a bacterium that possesses lipopolysaccharide. Hopanoids are similar to sterols and are present in many species of bacteria, playing a role in membrane stability and integrity. Although some bacteria take up cholesterol from host animals, the presence of lipopolysaccharide suggests the likelihood of hopanoids in the organism.
