Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
Triglycerides are made of 3 fatty acid chains and a glycerol head.
A triglyceride is formed when glycerol bonds with three fatty acids. This creates an ester bond and water is released
A long chain of carbon atoms attached to other carbon atoms and to hydrogen atoms.
So the components are carbon and hydrogen.

Fatty Acids and Glycerol
Well, they can form molecules. Molecules join together to form elements. Elements join together to form compounds.
glucose glucose units come together to form large cellulose and starch molecules.
There is no alcohol in a triglyceride, but one is produced when it is hydrolysed. This alcohol is glycerol.
Hydrogen bonds hold cellulose molecules together in bundles large enough to form fibers..
Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.
There are three ester bonds in a triglyceride molecule. These ester bonds form when three fatty acid molecules each react with a glycerol molecule, resulting in the formation of the triglyceride.

Well, they can form molecules. Molecules join together to form elements. Elements join together to form compounds.
Three water molecules are formed. They form from the leftover hydrogen and oxygen atoms left over from the triglyceride formation.

molecules
Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.
Pure elements are combined together to form molecules.
