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: -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-3: -Fats are a class of lipids containing two kinds of monomers, fatty acids, and glycerol.
Detailed explanation-4: -One major class of lipids is called glycerolipids. Glycerolipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids.
