Steroids.

Each steroid has a formula involving four carbon rings, with each ring sharing either one or two sides with another of the rings.

The different steroids differ in their side-groups.

Examples

cholesterol

testosterone

estradiol (one of the estrogens)

Why are six atom carbon rings more stable than 3 or 4 rings?

The stress on the carbon=carbon bonds is minimal in a hexagonal carbon ring. Fewer carbons raises the stress and increases the likelihood of bonds breaking.


How many carbon rings do steroids have?

Four or more. The basic steroid "backbone" is a set of four fused ring systems, three of which have six carbon atoms and one of which has five carbon atoms.

What is a lipid molecule that has only single bonds between its carbon atoms?

There is NO 'one single bond' organic molecule possible.The simplest 'single bond' organic molecule is methane (CH4) with 4 (not one) single bonds (between central C and 4 H atoms).The only possible 'one double bond' organic molecule is carbon monoxide (C=O)

What is the basic structure of a steroid?

Steroids are organic compounds composed of four fused carbon rings (three cyclohexane rings and one cyclopentane ring). They also typically have a side chain attached at carbon-17 and various functional groups at different positions on the rings. This rigid structure gives steroids their unique properties and allows them to interact with specific receptors in cells, influencing various physiological processes.
