Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The generic name for the monomer that makes up lipids is:
A
nitrogenous base
B
nuclear base
C
amino acids
D
nucleotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids. Nucleotides are the monomers that make up nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids are giant biomolecules made of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: pentose sugar (5-carbon sugar), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. The nucleic acids are of two major types: natural and synthetic nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids include fats and oils (triglycerides), phospholipids, waxes, and steroids. Nucleic acids are a class of biochemical compounds composed of monomers, called nucleotides, which are polymerized to form large strands.
