Cholesterol (C27H46O) has the following structure:

In such shorthand structures, each point where lines meet represents a carbon atom, and most H atoms are not shown. Draw the complete structure, showing all carbon and hydrogen atoms. (There will be four bonds to each carbon atom.) Indicate which carbon atoms use sp2 or sp3 hybrid orbitals. Are all carbon atoms in the same plane, as implied by the structure?
