Monomers group together to form a macromolecule during a process known as polymerization. During this process the indivudual monomers give off a gas which enables them to form a macromolecule.
The monomers of lipids are fatty acids and glycerol. A lipid is formed when 3 fatty acid molecules are joined to a glycerol molecule during a dehydration synthesis reaction. The bonds formed during the reaction are single bonds between the fatty acid and glycerol molecules.
ester linkages
Polymers are the macromolecules formed when monomers join together.polymer
AnswerWell, monomers of what? If it is monomers of a sugar than it would be a monosaccharide, and when joined a disaccharide. If it is just a monomer in the general term, it when joined it would be a dimer. You see mono in the beginning of the word means 1, while di means 2. If even more monomers were joined it would be tri and tetra and on and on. However anything more than two can be called a polymer, poly meaning many. Other monomers of macromolecules include nucleotides, and amino acids.
Carbohydrates
Two different monomers joined together will form a copolymer.
Macromolecules are simply large molecules, such as protein, sugar and fat. They areoften formed by removing H from one atom and OH from the other; The H and the OH combine to form water. Smaller molecules (monomers) are joined to build macromolecules by the removal of water. more information can be found by clicking on the link below == == == ==

Proteins have their monomers joined by peptide bonds. These monomers are amides. A number of amides are bond by peptide bonds to make proteins.

This is a valid statement, however it requires a little mind bending. Large organic molecules essentially are linked polymers to create a monomer. However, traditionally monomers are considered to be molecules that link easily in a chain and polymers are the chain, so in that way, this statement could be considered incorrect.
Lipids are unlike the other macromolecules in that they do not have monomers per se. They are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, but it's not like DNA which is made up of nucleotides or proteins that are made up of amino acids. However, they are still considered macromolecules as lipids are a large category of important molecules in the human body.
