A lipid is a type of molecule that is not considered a monomer or polymer. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that include fats, oils, and waxes, and they do not form long chains like polymers or repeat units like monomers.
Lipid polymers are molecules that combine lipid and polymer properties. They are often used in drug delivery systems and biomedical applications due to their biodegradability and ability to encapsulate drugs for targeted delivery. Lipid polymers can be tailored to have specific properties such as controlled release of drugs or improved stability in biological environments.
The purpose a cell would have to use a lipid monomer would be for use for the cell membrane. The cell membrane protects the contents of the cell.
The monomer of a polynucleotide molecule is called a nucleotide. It consists of three components: a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA).
Chitin is actually a polymer that can be made up of any number of monomer subunits. The monomer for chitin is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, which has a chemical formula of: (C8H13O5N)n Therefore, each monomer is made up of 27 atoms.
Cellulose has an unique monomer - glucose.
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
which polymer is correctly matched with its monomer A}starch-glucose B}maltose-amino acids C}protein-fatty acids D}lipid-sucrose
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
In terms of lipids, a monomer is a single building block unit, such as a fatty acid. A polymer is a larger molecule made up of repeating monomer units, like a triglyceride. A dimer is a molecule formed by the combination of two smaller molecules, as seen in some lipid modifications.
There is no antonym for polymer

polymer
The monomer for a lipid would be 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.
Polymer
The smallest unit of a polymer is called a monomer. Monomers are the repeating units that link together to form a polymer chain through chemical bonds.
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.
