|
|
glycerols and fatty acids
|
|
|
amino acids
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids’ monomers are glycerol and fatty acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: A lipid is a polymer composed of three fatty acid molecules and one glycerol molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids are “true” polymers because lipids are composed of repeating units of the same molecules or atoms. Lipids are “true” polymers because lipids are not composed of repeating units of the same molecules or atoms.
