Accepted Answer

A long chain of repeating L-shaped and triangle units

Question 3

What is the correct name for the monomer of lipids as depicted in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

Glycerol and fatty acids

Question 4

Which of the following best describes the relationship between monomers and polymers?

Accepted Answer

Monomers are joined together to form polymers through dehydration synthesis

Question 5

A student claims that the polymer of carbohydrates is a triglyceride. Based on the diagram, is this correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because triglycerides are polymers of lipids, not carbohydrates
