Question

the polymer of a lipid is: * choose dna/rna polysaccharide amino acids genetic information lipids monosaccharide protein stored energy glycerol/3 fatty acids nucleotide quick energy forms bones and muscle

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Lipids are not true polymers as they are not made of repeating monomeric units in the same way as other macromolecules. However, a common lipid - triglyceride, is composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. But among the given options, lipids themselves are not polymers of other substances in the traditional macromolecule - polymer sense. But if we consider the building - block concept, glycerol and 3 fatty acids form triglycerides which are a type of lipid.

Answer:

Glycerol/3 Fatty Acids
