DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. ... Nucleotides are attached together to form two long strands that spiral to create a structure called a double helix. If you think of the double helix structure as a ladder, the phosphate and sugar molecules would be the sides, while the bases would be the rungs.
Lipids differ from other large biological molecules in that they are not truly polymers ; Lipids are not all made of the same type of monomer. Their association as a group is related to their behavior rather than their structure.
