Steroid

A steroid is a type of organic compound that contains a

characteristic arrangement of four cycloalkane rings that

are joined to each other

The main feature of steroids is the ring system of three

cyclohexanes and one cyclopentane in a fused ring system

as shown below. There are a variety of functional groups

that may be attached. The main feature, as in all lipids, is

the large number of carbon-hydrogens which make steroids non-polar.
