Triglycerides are macromolecules called lipids, better known as fats or oils. Triglycerides are named for the monomer components they contain. "Tri" means three, and triglycerides are built from monomers of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol.
our genes code for this type of macromolecule?
triglycerides i believe
by adding monomers to create a polymer, at a certain time, a polymer becomes a macromolecule
triglycerides
Fats are made up of molecules called lipids, which include triglycerides and cholesterol. Lipids are a type of macromolecule that are insoluble in water and serve as a major source of energy storage in the body.

It is a bio-polymer of Glucose. Glycogen is also a bio-polymer of Glucose - only the way the monomers are conjoined is different!

Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
A polymer is a macromolecule made up of repeating units called monomers that are covalently bonded together. Examples of polymers include proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. The unique arrangement of monomers in a polymer determines its specific properties and functions.
Amino acids are monomers, so they aren't macromolecules at all.
Fatty acids are the basic unit of lipids, which are a type of macromolecule that serves as an important energy source and structural component in cells. Lipids also include compounds like triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
This is termed polymerisation. Poly is greek for many.
