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.
Phospholipids are oligomers. Triglycerides consist of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids and are thus strictly speaking an oligomer and not a polymer. Phospholipids are composed of one glycerol molecule bonded to a phosphate group and two fatty acids.
Lipids do not have monomers. They have a backbone mineral called glycerol, which is similar to a monomer. Lipids themselves are the polymer.
Phospholipids are polymers because they are composed of 2 fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Fatty acids are the monomers of lipids. Phospholipid also creates the bilayer.
Its a Polymer
Neither. Technically, they're triesters.
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.
Monomers
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
The polymers of lipids are simply its monomers (fatty acids and glycerol) connected
Polymers, they are lipids which are long carbon chains
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.
the scientific name is hypobinkofel but in our terminology it is thisisfakeidiot cheers ;)
Fatty Acids are the polymers or building blocks of lipids
Monomers are the building blocks of polymers.
What is the difference between monomers and polymers?
Monomers.
Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.
