What is the sub-unit that makes up fats.?
Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycogen
Nucleotides are the basic unit of which macromolecules?
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
Which macromolecule has a basic unit that is composed of phosphate a sugar ring and one of five different based?
A nucleic acid.
What is the monomer basic unit of protein?
That is the amino acid.
Is amino acid the basic unit of life with respect to chemistry?
Well, there are technically four macromolecules essential to life...they are the lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Amino acids correspond to the proteins, so yes, they are a basic unit of life. However, they are not the only basic unit, because there are others. See, life could not exist as we know it without amino acids, but couldn't with justamino acids as well.
What Fatty acids are the basic unit macromolecules?
Lipids
Fatty acids are the basic unit of which macromolecules?
Fat. One fat molecule has three fatty acids and a glycerol attached together.
What are the structural units of lipids?
the basic unit off of lipids is glcouse and energy
Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not?
Proteins are made of amino acid chains. The repitition closely resembles the repeating unit, the monomer, from polymers. Lipids are made of trigyclerides and fatty acids, much smaller molecules than the protein, which is a macromolecule.
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.

What is a basic unit of fat?
A basic unit of fat is a triglyceride. It is primarily made up of a fatty acid and three glycerol molecules
What is the term used to define a basic unit of protein?
The basic unit of a protein are amino acids. Major amino acids include phenylalanine, lysine, and glutamine, among others.
