What are basic units of fatty acid of which macromolecules?
They make up lipids. They join with glycerol to do so
Is this true or false Four major types of macromolecules are proteins carbohydrates lipids and glycerol?
false
What macromolecules is often made of three acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
They are the lipids. They are the monomers of lipids
What macromolecules are often made of three faith acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
They are the lipids. They are the monomers
Why are lipids not macromolecules?
No, lipids are actually macromolecules. Lipids or fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. They are functioning as insulators, forms cell membrane, hormones, and can provide energy.

Macromolecules that are formed when a fatty acid joins a glycerol?
Triglycerides (3 fatty acids + 1 gylcerol)
Why are lipids not macromolecules?
No, lipids are actually macromolecules. Lipids or fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. They are functioning as insulators, forms cell membrane, hormones, and can provide energy.
What macromolecules are often mad of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
They are the lipids. It has two monomer types.
What is the polymer and monomer for the macromolecules?
For carbohydrates they are monosaccharides. For proteins,amino acids. For lipids glycerol and fatty acids. For nucleic acids nucleotides.
Fatty acids are the basic unit of which macromolecules?
Fat. One fat molecule has three fatty acids and a glycerol attached together.
What class of macromolecules does triglycerides belong to?
Lipids. Fats. An ester formed from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules that could be of varying types.
What are the monomers of the lipids?
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.
What macromolecule is often made up of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
Lipids or fats are the class of macromolecules made up of fatty acids and glycerol. N, P, C, H, O are the elements that makes them. Lipids has a basic characteristic where it has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail (fatty acid).
