Polymers, Monomers, and Lipids

1
Polymers, Monomers, and Lipids
Lipid monomers are less persistent than the above
monomers
Consequently, lipids are less-readily described
using the same polymeric terms

Some Monosaccharides
Note Numerous Chiral Carbons
Want to see that again?
Hence Carbo (C) Hydrate (H2O)
Note Basic Formula (CH2O)n
Want to see that again?
