One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.

What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?

There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.


What is a biomolecue that repels water?

A biomolecule that repels water is a lipid, specifically a phospholipid. The hydrophobic tails of phospholipids repel water, while the hydrophilic heads are attracted to water. This property allows phospholipids to form the hydrophobic core of cell membranes.
