True. All sterols are lipids. But not not all lipids are sterols (e.g. triacylglycerol)
Sterols are a subgroup of steroids .
They are amphipathic lipids synthetised from acetyl-co A.
Examples are cholesterol, phytosterols, and steroid hormones
Sterols can also help block cholesterol absorption sites in the intestines .
