Cholesterol is a lipid?
The answer to your question, is cholesterol a lipid is YES. The term lipids describes an entire class of fats and fat-like substances in the blood. Cholesterol is a type of lipid. Where blood is watery lipids can be identified by their waxy or oily consistency. Cholesterol is a fat-like substance with a waxy consistency that is produced in the livers of humans and other animals. Lipids are fats, when a food is high in cholesterol it simply means that the food is high in a waxy substance. This waxy substance is classified as a lipid. Having to much of this waxy substance in the body can have serious health problems including heart disease. All cholesterol is a type of lipid but not all lipids are a type of cholesterol.
Are steroids lipids?
No, steroids belong to lipids, but not all lipids are steroids: eg. natural fats or oils are triglyceridic lipids, not steroidic lipids
Which class of organic compounds stores energy as fat?
Lipids are the class of organic compounds that stores energy as fat.
Lipids are the only class of macromolecules that contain what?
i think lipids are the only class of macromolecules that are waxy, fatty, or oily. This answer is wrong.....and the question doesn't make sense. Lipids are not macromolecules.
