Glyceral and fatty acids
An example of a lipid monomer is a fatty acid, which consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group. Fatty acids can join together through dehydration reactions to form larger lipid molecules like triglycerides and phospholipids.
The monomer that makes up a polypeptide is an amino acid. Polypeptides are formed when amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds during protein synthesis. In contrast, fatty acids are the monomers that make up fats, including polyunsaturated fats and phospholipids.
monomer
Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids.
Phospholipids.
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
the monomer of poly saccharide is glucose
An RNA monomer is a nucleotide.
The monomer of lipids is fatty acids.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
The basic building block or monomer of lipids is a fatty acid. Fatty acids consist of a hydrophilic (water-attracting) carboxylic acid group at one end and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) hydrocarbon chain at the other end. These fatty acids can join together through dehydration synthesis to form various types of lipids such as triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
