If 1 of the glycerol's OH groups is attached to a fatty acid it is a monoglyceride.
If it is 2 or 3 then it is a di or triglyceride respectively. If there are 3 fatty acids and one gycleride, then the substance is namely a lipid.
It is necessary to give the name of this compound for an answer.
The basic fat in your body to keep you warm. Lipids are made up of waxes, oils, and fatty acids.Lipids are composed of one glycerol molecule plus 3 fatty acids.
peptide
protein?
Lipids: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen - monomers are glycerol and fatty acids Proteins - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen - monomers are amino acids Carbs - No Phosphate. Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen - H:O ratio is 2:1 - monomers are monosaccharides (may have a ring structure) Nucleic Acides - examples are dna and rna. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphate - monomers are nucleotides (sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base)
fatty acids or glycerol
The answer here is glycerol. This small molecule acts as the 'bridge' which connects the three fatty-acids which make up the larger part of the lipid molecule. This accounts for the alternative name for lipids, triglycerides.
Glycerol is another name of Glycerin, (1,2,3-propatriol).
Glycerol plus Fatty acid-monoglyceride plus water forms through condensation reaction a Triglyceride
Triglycerides are a type of fatty acid that aid in the bodily processes of the liver. They are composed of one glycerol and three fatty acids, hence the name, tri-glycerides.

Lipases are enzymes, needed to break down lipids (the general name given to fats and oils) into the products - glycerol and fatty acids.
Phospholipids
You must be referring to triglycerides: the collective name for what most people refer to as fats, oils, lards, tallows, etc.
The basic fat in your body to keep you warm. Lipids are made up of waxes, oils, and fatty acids.Lipids are composed of one glycerol molecule plus 3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of n-3 fatty acids and therefore not a drug or chemical. There is no more specific a name for this group of fatty acids than omega-3. Three fatty acids in this group that are of nutritional significance in the human diet are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Acylglycerophosphoglycerol is another name for phosphatidylglycerol, a phospholipid in which the small organic molecule is glycerol.
