Monomers of: Carbohydrates- Glucose Lipids- Fatty acids and glycerol Proteins- Amino acids Nucleic acids- Nucleotides Is an explanation really needed for this because it's really simple to understand?
Most polymers are long chains of repeating, identical, carbon-containing molecules called monomers. Lipids are the exception because they have an additional, nonidentical molecule attached to each monomer chain. The additional molecule varies with the type of lipid. It may be a carboxyl group, glycerol or phosphate group.
