How many alcohol groups are there in cholesterol?
YES Cholesterol is an AlcoholThe polar hydroxyl group at the end of a cholesterol molecule is made of two atoms. These two molecules make cholesterol an alcohol. Ethanol, the alcoholic component of alcoholic beverages, has this same structure at the end of its molecule..,,,By: Farman marwat kpk, PAKISTANMSC CHEMISTRYGOMAL UNIVERSITY
What are the functional groups of steroids?
Lots and lots of different ones, depending on the steroid...
Compare the structure of proteins with the structure of nucleic acids?
Absolutely not.Proteins have an amine-carboxyl backbone with any of 20 possible side groups.Nucleic acids a sugar-phosphate backbone with only 4 possible side groups, called bases.
What is the chemical composition of a steroid?
well anabolic steroids are made of testosteronemedical steroids can be made of many things depending on the medicine... like a cortisone shot, that is steroids and the main ingredient is a ranging dose of cortisone

Is FSH steroid or hormone?
First off, steroids and hormones are not mutually exclusive groups. The term "steroid" reflect a molecule's chemical structure -- all steroids share the same chemical backbone of cholesterol, which is why they are placed in the same group. The term "hormone" refers specifically to the molecule's function. A hormone is any chemical signal that travels via the bloodstream. Its chemical structure can be that of a steroid (hence we often talk about steroid hormones), it can be a protein or small peptide (hence protein and peptide hormones), or it can be in another class altogether (such as the catecholaminergic hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted in the bloodstream by the pituitary gland and signals events to occur in distant target organs; thus FSH is a hormone. However, it is made of many amino acids strung together; thus FSH is a protein. So FSH is a protein hormone. Hope that helps.

Why are blood cholesterol levels higher in people with blood group A and AB?
Blood Cholesterol levels are dependent on many factors of which antigen 'a' is one. Antigen 'a' is present only in blood groups A and AB. Hence, blood cholesterol levels are higher in individuals with blood groups A and AB.
What are the polar groups in cholesterol?
There is only one polar group that can be found in cholesterol despite it being nonpolar. That one group is a hydroxyl group.
How does the structure and function of groups change as they grow in size?
Groups tend to develop a more formal social structure
What groups of people are prescribed statin?
people with high cholesterol levels in their blood
