Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A lipid is a polymer that is made of what kind of monomers?
A
monosacchirides
B
amino acids
C
triglyceride
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids-polymers called diglycerides, triglycerides; monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. Proteins-polymers are known as polypeptides; monomers are amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids have four main types of polymers: triglycerides, phospholipids, waxes, and steroids. Triglycerides are made of a glycerol backbone and three fatty acid tails that differ in length and orientation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Triglycerides are made up of monomers of glycerol molecules each bonded to three fatty acid “tails.”

Detailed explanation-4: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Triglyceride oils are one of the most important sources for biopolymers. Oil-based biopolymers have many advantages compared with polymers prepared from petroleum-based monomers. They are biodegradable and, in many cases, cheaper than petroleum polymers.
