How does the structure of fatty acids compare to the basic units found in other macromolecules?

Fatty acids are composed of a hydrophilic carboxylic acid head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, while basic units in other macromolecules (such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in DNA/RNA, and monosaccharides in carbohydrates) have different functional groups and structures specific to their roles in each macromolecule. The differences in functional groups and structure give these basic units unique properties and functions within their respective macromolecules.
