Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The monomer of a lipid is ____
A
glycerol
B
fatty acid
C
glucose
D
glycerol and fatty acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids. Nucleotides are the monomers that make up nucleic acids. Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Sequences of monomers joined together make up polymers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: A lipid is a polymer composed of three fatty acid molecules and one glycerol molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The monomers of triglycerides are fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is a type of alcohol. Triglycerides are made up of monomers of glycerol molecules each bonded to three fatty acid “tails.”

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids that are important to our discussion include fats and oils (triglycerides or triacyglycerols), fatty acids, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Fats and oils are esters of glycerol and three fatty acids.
