Question

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

Answer 1

Well first,

What are fatty acids?

- Fatty acids are a type of lipid, (one of the four MAJOR parts of macromolecules)
- They also consist of two parts, Glycerol Backbone, and Fatty Acid Tails.

A carbohydrate is the basic unit of a macromolecule. (simple sugar)

But a fat lipid is a macromolecule because it is made up of more than one monomer.

I hope this helps!
