What are the monomers and polymers of organic compound?
(Carbohydrate) Monomer- glucose and fructose Polymer- such as starch (Lipids) Monomer- such as fatty acid Polymer- diglycerides and triglycerides (Proteins) Monomer- amino acid Small polymer- Peptides Long polymer- egg protien (Nucleic acid) Monomer- cytosine, quinine, adenine, thymine, and uracil Polymer- DNA and RNA
Is lipid a polymer?
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
Is Keratin a nucleic acid polymer?
No. It is a polymer polypeptide, which is a protein.
What are the 4 major macromolecules and monomers?
The 4 macomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids,proteins, and nucleic acids. Their monomers are: Carbohydrates- Simple sugar Lipids-Fatty Acid Protein-Amino Acids Nucleic Acid-Nucleotide
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
What are 2 nucleic acid polymers?
A nucleic acid is a polymer. Its monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. Hope I helped :)
Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
What are the monomers and polymers of organic compound?

Are fatty acids polymers or monomers?
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.
Is lipid a polymer?
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
What is the polymer for nucleic acid?
A nucleic acid is a polymer made of nucleotides.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?
No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.
Is ghee a polymer?
YES. it's a polymer made up of repeated units of fatty acids.
Is sucrose a fatty acid?
Sucrose is not a fatty acid.
Is a nucleic acid a monomer or a polymer?
No. A nucleic acid is a subunit of a [the] polymer.
What type of fatty acid is a propanoic acid?
Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.
Is chitin a fat?
No, chitin is a polysaccharade (a polymer made of many saccharide, or sugar, monomers). Fats are composed of triglycerides, where are fatty acid chains combined with a glycerol molecule.
