Detailed explanation-1: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids’ monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol makes the backbone of a triglyceride, a common lipid polymer. Three fatty acids make the long fatty chains of triglyceride. Each polymer of lipids is similar in that they have the same basic structures of the monomers within.
Detailed explanation-3: -A lipid is made up of three fatty acids, which are connected to a glycerol molecule. These three fatty acids can be any fatty acids, in (usually) whatever combination If you were referring to lipids in general, it means biological molecules with apolar characteristics.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids are an essential component of the cell membrane. The structure is typically made of a glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acid tails (hydrophobic), and a phosphate group (hydrophilic).
