Steroid:
Steroid is an organic compound that has a nonpolar and hydrophobic properties due to the steroid nucleus or a four fused-ring structure. The main structure of steroids is the four fused-ring structure. Since it is a nonpolar and hydrophobic compound, it belongs to the lipid macromolecules. Steroid nucleus is a common structure in the body and is found in some hormones such as estrogen and androgen.
