The process for connecting two monomers together is called dehydration synthesis. Dehydration means
“removal of water” and synthesis means “to join together”. So in this
process, two monomers are covalently bonded by the removal of a
water molecule. Each organic monomer has a hydroxyl group on
one side and a hydrogen on the other. When two monomers line
up side by side, they will have these two functional groups facing one
another. The H and the OH will break off of their respective
monomers and bond forming a water molecule. This is the dehydration
part of the process. Each monomer now has a carbon atom that needs
to covalently bond with something, so they bind to each other forming
a polymer. That is the synthesis part of the process.
Answer:
The correct answer is - carboxyl group.
Explanation:
Lipids are one of the major macromolecules that are made up of fatty acid and carboxyl groups as two main parts of the molecules. The most common type of lipid is formed with the glycerol associated with the fatty acid chain.
In the provided structure the circled part is the carboxyl group with the long fatty acid chain. However, glycerol belongs to the alcohol group.
Thus, the correct answer is - carboxyl group.
The correct answer will be
