They make up lipids. They join with glycerol to do so
Fatty acids are composed of a hydrophilic carboxylic acid head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, while basic units in other macromolecules (such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in DNA/RNA, and monosaccharides in carbohydrates) have different functional groups and structures specific to their roles in each macromolecule. The differences in functional groups and structure give these basic units unique properties and functions within their respective macromolecules.
why are fatty acids important to the cell membrane
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
protein
Macromolecules are formed from small units called monomers.
