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
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.
