Why cholesterol decreases the permeability of biological membranes?
Because cholesterol is amphipathic, it fits in between the phospholipids and blocks diffusion through the membrane.

Is sodium oleate amphipathic?

Is a steroid hydrophobic or hydrophilic or amphipathic?
Yes. However, more to the point is that steroid hormones are lipophilic.
What property of dishwashing liquid (detergent) makes it useful to wash grease from pans?
Amphipathic nature.
Are fats amphipathic?
Yes. The glycerol head is polar while the fatty acids are nonpolar. Thus, fat is indeed amphipathic.
