H-bonds are essential for the three-dimensional structure of each macromolecule

Cis or trans? That's what matters.

Phospholipids are ampiphilic, and can form hydrogen bonds that way. But mostly lipids are hydrophobic, and their tails like to stay together and keep out the polar water molecules. Though the tails are full of hydrogen bonded to carbon, it is not hydrogen bonding that keeps them together. I forgot what the forces are called that keep the hydrophobic parts together. Anybody know?

OK, I will borrow one picture from your link

Can you tell me, where there are monomers in the lipids?

yeah very true lipids don't have monomers but i am telling that they are macromolecules. ;)


not meaning to be rude at all :)
