Q
why does lipids not include as a polymers
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Lipids are not classified as polymers because, unlike polymers which are large molecules made by linking up small, repeating units called monomers, lipids are made from two distinct types of molecules - glycerol and fatty acids - that do not form long chains. Polymers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides, consist of monomers linked in a chain. Lipids, however, are formed when three fatty acid molecules react with a glycerol molecule in a dehydration synthesis reaction, resulting in a triglyceride. Although this process does create large molecules, the lack of a repetitive monomeric structure means lipids do not fit the strict definition of polymers.
