Saccharides are the monomers which are combined to form carbohydrates.
Depending on the type of carbohydrate, the monomer components can be monosaccharides, disaccharide, polysaccharide, etc.
E.g: Sucrose is a carbohydrate (specifically a dissacharide) that is made of glucose and fructose monosaccharides.
Another example is cellulose, which is a carbohydrate (specifically a polysaccharide) that is made of beta glucose monosaccharide components combined together.
Cholesterol refers to a fat-like waxy substance, which is found in all the cells of the body. The body needs some cholesterol to produce hormones, substances that assist in digesting foods, and vitamin D. The body produces all the cholesterol it requires.
Cholesterol enhances the fluidity of the membrane, which otherwise comprises majorly the long-chain saturated fatty acids.
Cholesterol minimizes the fluidity of the membrane in the regions known as rafts that comprise huge concentrations of cholesterol and sphingolipids.
