Polarity of cholesterol?

Polarity occurs when there are un-bonded electrons within the molecule. Without the alcohol functional group, the cholesterol molecule would be non-polar. However, since there is an alcohol functional group, the oxygen's extra electrons cause this molecule to be polar. This alcohol functional group allows the possiblility of linking with other molecules using an ester or hydroxyl bond.
