NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids aren’t polymers since they lack a monomer unit. Simply put, lipids are a type of fat having a glycerol molecule and a two or three fatty acid chain. Although there is always one glycerol, the number of fatty acids varies. As a result, there isn’t a monomer unit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids are not “true” polymers because lipids are not composed of repeating units of the same molecules or atoms. Explanation: Polymers are molecules that are made of two or more repeating units of the same molecule or atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids have four main types of polymers: triglycerides, phospholipids, waxes, and steroids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Backbone of lipid (glycerol) can be a massive molecule, but lipid is not made of monomers, so it is not a polymer.
