Well cholesterol itself is only 1 molecule, it can't *really* contain any other molecules. It does, however have some structural similarities with fatty acids such as the nice long hydrophobic tail.
It has an OH group also, so it's possible that it shares some metabolic routes and functions with fatty acids or is derived from them (we can reduce a carboxylic acid - found in fatty acids - to an alcohol group - OH). We probably need a molecular biologist to confirm that, though :).
Fatty acids cannot form carbohydrates. Fatty acids are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while carbohydrates are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a different arrangement.
fatty acids and glycerol
Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.
The hydrolysis of lipid molecules breaks the ester bonds that hold the fatty acids to the glycerol molecule. This process involves the addition of water molecules to the bonds, leading to the separation of fatty acids and glycerol as individual components.
Fatty acids contain C, H, O.
All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.
Yes, fatty acids are polar molecules.
Lipids are the class of biological molecules that contain fatty acids. Fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one end. They are a crucial component of cell membranes and serve as a source of energy for the body.
The three molecules attached to a glycerol molecule are fatty acids. These fatty acids form lipid molecules such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or waxes depending on the type and arrangement of the fatty acids bonded to the glycerol backbone.

glycerols and fatty acids
Naturally occurring fats contain fatty acids in the form of triglycerides. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acid molecules linked to a glycerol molecule. This structure allows fats to store energy and be used as a fuel source by the body.
3 fatty acids!
Fats contain fatty acids and gycerols.Fatty acids are saturated carboxylic acids which have pretty high molecular weight.Example-citric acid.Lower homologues like acetic acid,oxalic acid,formic acid are not regarded as fatty acids.
In photosynthesis, molecules like glucose, fructose, and starch contain carbon. In respiration, molecules such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids also contain carbon.
Fatty acids are typically attached to glycerol molecules to form triglycerides or to other molecules to form phospholipids. In both cases, the fatty acids are attached through ester bonds.
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are the individual molecules that make up fats.
