That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.

What feature of the monomer molecules makes them unsaturated?

Unsaturated lipids will contain a number of double bonds. If a carbon is double bonded to one hydrogen, it's valence electrons are satisfied. So instead of holding on to two hydrogens, it has just one. These double bonds cause "unsaturation".

What is the monomer unit of cellulose?

It depends on the type of plastic. Different plastics have different monomer units. PVC- Poly Vinyl Chloride has Vinyl Chloride CH2=CHCl as the monomer unit. Polyethylene has ethylene (ethene) CH2=CH2 as the monomer unit. There are many others.


Lipid molecules that have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible are referred to as unsaturated?

No. Lipid molecules that are unsaturated have less hydrogen atoms because of carbon-carbon double bonds.


Is saturated fat a monomer of a lipid?

No, saturated fat is not a monomer of a lipid. Monomers of lipids are fatty acids, which can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats consist of long chains of saturated fatty acids.
