The answer is False: Lipids, unlike nucleic acids and proteins, are not made of strings of similar subunits.

Explanation:

• Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that are primarily composed of fatty acids and glycerol, but they do not form long chains of repeating subunits like nucleic acids and proteins do.
• Nucleic acids (such as DNA and RNA) are made up of long chains of nucleotides, which are similar subunits.
• Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids, which are also similar subunits.
• Lipids, on the other hand, are typically composed of a glycerol backbone bonded to fatty acids, and they do not form polymers in the same way that nucleic acids and proteins do. Therefore, they are not made of strings of similar subunits.
