Remember there are many different kinds of lipids (fatty acids, soaps, waxes, phospholipids, etc) but as far as the dietary fatty acids, the answer is No.
Triglycerides (dietary fat) are composed of 3 fatty acid chains bound to glycerol. Fatty acids are carbon chains and glycerol is 3 carbons each with an OH alcohol. An ester bond attaches each fatty acid to glycerol.
As far as energy metabolism, it can be seen that carbon and oxygen are the main substituents of energy. Even "simple sugar sub-units" are carbon rings, and during glycolysis these carbon rings are opened and broken apart to be used in the TCA cycle and other ways for energy production.
What else can I help you with?
Are lipids composed of the sub-units glycerols and fatty acids?
Yes, lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol molecules combine with fatty acids through ester linkages to form molecules like triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols.
Is DNA made up of three sub units?
Each subunit is called a nucleotide. They have a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nucleobase
What are the sub units for a fat molecule?
Amino Acids
What do you call different specialized sub-units withih a cell?
Organelles
What are sub-units of a chromosome that determine specific traits are called?
gene (I think...) The units of a chromosome that code for traits are genes.
Are fatty acids sub-units of carbohydrates?
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
Which kind of macromolecules does not have a single kind of monomer subunit?
They are the lipids. They have glycerols and fatty acids
What are the sub-units of lipids?
The subunits of lipids are fats, oils, waxes, sterols and triglycerides.
Are lipids composed of the sub-units glycerols and fatty acids?
Yes, lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol molecules combine with fatty acids through ester linkages to form molecules like triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols.

What is sub units?
Sugars
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
The sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil).
What are the sub units of fat?
amino acids :)
What are nucleic acids sub units?
Nucleotides
What are the sub units for a fat molecule?
Amino Acids
How are carbohydrates described?
Carbohydrates, also called saccharides, are oxyorganic compounds. They can be either simple sugar molecules or complex carbohydrates. They can be sub-divided into the classes of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. These all serve organisms as energy sources and as essential structural components.
What are the sub units making up nucleic acid?
nucleotides
