carbohydate
lipid
protein

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cholesterol is a lipid. Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in non - polar solvents. Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer, and cholesterol is an important component of this bilayer. It interacts with fatty acids (which are also lipids) to maintain the fluidity and integrity of the cell membrane. Carbohydrates are generally soluble in water and have a different chemical structure and function (e.g., energy storage, structural components in some organisms). Proteins have a different chemical composition (amino - acid based) and functions such as catalysis, transport, and structural support in cells.
