Lipids, such as triglycerides, are composed of a molecule of glycerol bonded to three fatty acid chains (molecules). So they are composed of many molecules and therefore cannot be monomers.

Lipids are not considered monomers because they do not link together to form polymers like carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Monomers are small subunits that can join together through covalent bonds to form larger, repeating units. Lipids, on the other hand, are a diverse group of molecules that are characterized by their hydrophobic nature and insolubility in water.

Are fats polymers or monomers?
Polymers, they are lipids which are long carbon chains
What are the monomers for carbohydrates and lipids?
monomers for carbohydrates is monosaccharides simple sugar. monomer for lipids is 3 fatty acids
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
