They belong to the lipid group. The basic organic structure of steroids is the sterane structure.
Fats are triglycerides they belong to LIPIDS class of organic compounds.
Cholesterol belongs to the group of organic compounds known as sterols. Sterols are a subgroup of steroids that contain a hydroxyl group at the C-3 position of the A-ring.
Steroids are their own group. The calssification of steroids depends on whether it comes from animals or plants, their structure, their uses etc.
Some hormones (such as steroids) are classified under lipids which actually belong to Esters group. Other hormones are proteins which belong to amine group (they are made up of amino acids).
Lipids
A phospholipid is an organic compound that contains a phosphare group in the molecule and is a fatty acid or derivative of a fatty acid. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
A carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) can cause an organic molecule to act as an acid. It donates a proton (H+) in solution, making the molecule acidic.
Functional group is a part of an organic molecule which takes a part in chemical reaction for example in alcohols functional group is -OH , in carboxylic acids is -COOH and so on, but formaldehyde CH2O is a molecule and it is completely a functional group.
No. A phospholipid is comprised of a phosphate group combined with, usually, a diglyceride. It has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. A steroid is a heterocyclic (multi-ringed) aromatic molecule. It is typically hydrophobic. However, both molecules are used in forming the cell membrane.
yes because it contains carbon so it is organic
