Fatty acids are linear hydrocarbon polymers terminated at one end by an acid group.
The shortest possible "fatty acid" (i.e. a 0 length polymer chain: with just a single methyl group terminated by an acid group) is more commonly known as acetic acid, the acid in common vinegar.

What are the polymers of lipids?
The polymers of lipids are simply its monomers (fatty acids and glycerol) connected
What are 2 nucleic acid polymers?
A nucleic acid is a polymer. Its monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. Hope I helped :)
What is the polymer of lipids?
Fatty Acids are the polymers or building blocks of lipids
What is the monomers and polymers of lipids?
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
Do lipids have monomers or polymers?
Lipids are not polymers but are macromolecules. So we cannot speak of monomers and polymers of lipids.Lipids are triglycerides, the simplest form being formed by a condensation reaction between a molecule of glycerol (which has 3 -OH groups) and 3 fatty acids.
What are the polymers found in protein?
Proteins are polymers. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
What monomers are used to make up lipids?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids is the monomer of a lipid.This is also the basic structure of a lipid.
Are all proteins polymers?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Another name for protein is polypeptide. They are made of many (poly = many) amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers of lipids)
Is fatty acid a polymer?
Fatty acids are not polymers.
What best describes nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are polymers. They are made of monomers Nucleotides.
