Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the monomer that makes up lipids?
A
Monosaccharides
B
Fatty acids
C
Nucleotides
D
Amino acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fats are made of a molecule of glycerol bonded to three fatty acid chains, which can vary in length and bond type. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fats are a class of lipids containing two kinds of monomers, fatty acids, and glycerol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids technically do not have monomer units. They are neither polymers nor macromolecules. Different lipids will have different structures. Triglycerides, for example, are made of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid tails.

Detailed explanation-5: -Complete answer: A lipid is a polymer composed of three fatty acid molecules and one glycerol molecule.
