What are the two glycolytic intermediates that directly link glucose metabolism to the metabolism of triglycerides and thereby link carbohydrate to fat metabolism?
phosphoglyceraldehyde and acetyl CoA
Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
Triglycerides are the monomers for what type of macromolecule?
Triglycerides are macromolecules called lipids, better known as fats or oils. Triglycerides are named for the monomer components they contain. "Tri" means three, and triglycerides are built from monomers of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol.
What is the difference between liquid triglycerides and solid triglycerides?

Does triglycerides have a compound containing phosphorus?
no

What are the two glycolytic intermediates that directly link glucose metabolism to the metabolism of triglycerides and thereby link carbohydrate to fat metabolism?
phosphoglyceraldehyde and acetyl CoA
Do lipids include chitin?
No. Chitin is a polysaccharide, meaning that it is a polymer of a certain type of carbohydrate molecule (N-acetylglucosamine, in particular). This is not the same as lipids, where are formed from triglycerides.
In what form are dietary lipids found?
triglycerides
What do triglycerides have to do with heart health?
A triglyceride is an ester that comes from a carbohydrate and 3 fatty acids. A triglyceride is bad for you, it is most commonly found in carbohydrates so do decrease your triglycerides you just need to eat less carbohydrates.

What the difference between saturated triglycerides and unsaturated?
Saturated triglycerides have more hydrogen's than unsaturated triglycerides.
Triglycerides are classified by what?
The shape, length, and saturation of the fatty acids are ways that triglycerides are classified. Triglycerides are classified as a fat.
What are Triglycerides elements?
Triglycerides contain C, H, O.
Approximately what percentage of the lipids in foods are triglycerides?
95 percentage of the lipids in foods are triglycerides.
Most of the fat found in the human body is in the form of what?
triglycerides
What organ is tested for triglycerides?
A blood test is used to measure triglycerides.
Are triglycerides vegan?
Triglycerides can be obtained from both vegetable and animal sources.
