Cholesterol belongs to the lipid group of macromolecules and is a member of the group of sterols.
The main functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes. "Lipid" is sometimes used as a synonym for fats.

∙ 11y ago...You're question is a bit unclear. Lipids are among the most, if not the very most, diverse organic compounds in living organisms. They include fats, waxes, oils, and I believe parts of connective tissue. They typically consist of long hydrocarbon chains bonded to a glycerol molecule. I'm a bit rusty on my bio, so I don't know the formula for that. Google works, though :)
Cholesterol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sterols. Sterols are a subgroup of steroids, which are a type of lipid molecule.
