Lipids carbohydrates fatty acids proteins odd man out

Answer 1

proteins is the answer :)

Answer 2

The odd one out in the given group is Fatty acids.

• Lipids, carbohydrates, proteins - all represent Biomolecules.
• All except fatty acids are polymers.
• The fatty acid is a monomer i.e. single residue or entity used in the formation of lipids.
• Carbohydrate is a polymer of sugar molecules such as saccharides(glucose, galactose) and disaccharides( sucrose, lactose, maltose, etc.)
• Proteins are polymers of amino acids, 20 amino acids are present in the body.
• Both proteins and carbohydrates are categorized as homopolymers(consisting of a similar single type of amino acid residues) or heteropolymers(consisting of different types of amino acids).
• Lipids are long chains of fatty acid molecules.
