What is the monomer of a lipid?
|
amino acid
|
|
nucleotide
|
|
monosaccharide
|
|
glycerol and fatty acids

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, it is proposed that glycerol is a monomer of suberins in general and can cross-link aliphatic and aromatic suberin domains, corresponding to the electron-translucent and electron-opaque suberin lamellae, respectively.
Detailed explanation-3: -A lipid is a polymer made up of three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol. They are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat.
