Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The monomer units of fats are glycerol and the fatty acids that attach to the glycerol. The fatty acids vary in length, and some of them can even have bends. The combination of the different fatty acids that attach to a glycerol give the fat its identity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sterol lipids (steroids) are primarily used as hormones, or involved in cell signaling. Eicosanoids are a family of fatty acid involved in signaling.

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