Lipids, such as cholesterol.
Steroids are a type of lipid, which is a group of macromolecules that are hydrophobic and primarily composed of hydrocarbons.

Fatty acids are the basic unit of lipids, which are a type of macromolecule that serves as an important energy source and structural component in cells. Lipids also include compounds like triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
lipids
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
No, a steroid is not a macromolecule. Steroids are a type of lipid made up of four fused carbon rings, and they are classified as small organic molecules due to their size and structure. Macromolecules are large molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids that are made up of smaller subunits.
A block macromolecule is a macromolecule composed of a linear sequence of blocks.
The prefix for macromolecule is "macro-".
Steroids are a class of lipid molecules that have 4 carbon rings.
Large polymers are often called macromolecules.
A macromolecule is just a molecule with a large number of atoms. A protein is an example of a macromolecule.
The macromolecule of sugar is a carbohydrate. This includes simple sugars like glucose and fructose, as well as complex carbohydrates like starch and cellulose. Carbohydrates are important sources of energy for living organisms.
