How many Fatty acids molecules does cholesteral contain?
Well cholesterol itself is only 1 molecule, it can't *really* contain any other molecules. It does, however have some structural similarities with fatty acids such as the nice long hydrophobic tail. It has an OH group also, so it's possible that it shares some metabolic routes and functions with fatty acids or is derived from them (we can reduce a carboxylic acid - found in fatty acids - to an alcohol group - OH). We probably need a molecular biologist to confirm that, though :).

Reactivity and synthetic applications of malonic ester?
Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are, in general, triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids.[5] Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits, including apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries.[6] Several billion kilograms of polyesters are produced industrially annually, important products being polyethylene terephthalate, acrylate esters, and cellulose acetate.[7]
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
What are good sources of essential fatty acids?
There are many great foods that are rich in essential fatty acids. These foods include fish, such as salmon, and a variety of nuts.
