Cholesterol

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Cholesterol is a sterol (a type of steroid alcohol) with the chemical formula $C_{27}H_{46}O$. It consists of a tetracyclic hydrocarbon skeleton with a hydroxyl $(-OH)$ group at the $C-3$ position and a hydrocarbon tail. It does not contain a carboxyl $(-COOH)$ or a keto $(C=O)$ group. In contrast,Cortisone and Progesterone are steroid hormones that contain keto groups. Triglycerides are esters of fatty acids and glycerol,containing ester linkages $(-COO-)$ which are derived from carboxyl groups.
