Do lipids have monomers or polymers?

No they are not polymers as they do not contain monomers

The polymers of lipids are simply its monomers (fatty acids and glycerol) connected

Polymers, they are lipids which are long carbon chains

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.

Neither. Technically, they're triesters.

the scientific name is hypobinkofel but in our terminology it is thisisfakeidiot cheers ;)

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.

Polymers are made from monomers.

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 are the building blocks of polymers.

Monomers are the building blocks of polymers.

Polymers are long chains of monomers.

Unlike nucleic acids or carbohydrates, Lipids are not classified as polymers because their components are not identical (i.e. they are not monomers).

What is the difference between monomers and polymers?

Monomers are the basic units that make up polymers. Polymers are chains of many monomers joined together.

Lipids are macromolecules that aren't polymers, as their structure does not consist of a repeating chain of monomers. Proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are all macromolecules and polymers.

Polymers are many monomers joined together by bonds.

Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.

Monomers become polymers through condensation or dehydration reactions.

Polymers can store more energy than monomers.

The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Of polysaccharides: monosaccharides. Of polypeptides (the chains that make up proteins): amino acids. Lipids are macromolecules, but are not polymers, so they do not have monomers.

No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.

Triglyceride, steroids, and phospholipids are the polymers of lipids.

Monomers chemically bond to make polymers in the process of polymerization.
