If you were to compare the synthesis of fats with the synthesis of polymers, which type of polymer would the synthesis be most similar to?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synthesis of fats involves the formation of ester linkages between fatty acids and glycerol through a condensation reaction, which is similar to the way condensation polymers are formed. In contrast, addition polymers are formed through the addition of monomers without the removal of any small molecules, which is not similar to the synthesis of fats. The choices C and D refer to specific types of polyethylene and are not relevant to the comparison.
