What is the monomer of a lipid?
A
Amino Acids
B
Monosaccharides
C
Fatty Acids and Glycerol
D
Nucleotides
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 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-4: -One major class of lipids is called glycerolipids. Glycerolipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids.
