Lipids
Well, honey, the basic unit of lipids is a fatty acid. It's like the building block that makes up all those fats and oils that keep our bodies running. So next time you're enjoying a greasy slice of pizza, just remember you're chowing down on a whole bunch of those fatty acids.
Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycogen
A nucleic acid.
That is the amino acid.
Monosaccharide
Lipids
Fat. One fat molecule has three fatty acids and a glycerol attached together.
The structural units of lipids are fatty acids, glycerol, and other components like phosphates or sterols. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group at one end, while glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol that serves as the backbone for triglycerides. These units combine to form various types of lipids, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
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.

Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycogen
A basic unit of fat is a triglyceride. It is primarily made up of a fatty acid and three glycerol molecules
A nucleic acid.

A nucleic acid.
The basic unit of a protein are amino acids. Major amino acids include phenylalanine, lysine, and glutamine, among others.
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.
