What Are the Polymers of Lipids? | Sciencing
sciencing.com › polymers-lipids-6404017Apr 26, 2018 · Lipids create a unique type of polymer, known for being a key component of cell membranes and hormones. Where most polymers are long chains of identical, repeating carbon-containing molecules known as monomers, lipid polymers contain an additional, nonidentical molecule attached to each monomer chain. This molecule varies with the type of lipid: some may fall within a carboxyl group, a glycerol group or a phospate group.
