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.
Glycerol is always a part of every triglyceride and phospholipid.
No, a triglyceride is not a protein. Triglycerides are a type of lipid, while proteins are a different type of biomolecule.
it has different fatty acids
A simple triglyceride contains three identical acyl chains, whereas a mixed triglyceride has more than one type acyl chain.
A phospholipid molecule is composed of an organic phosphate group, a triglyceride, and two fatty acid chains. Within the phospohlipid there is a phosphodiester linkage and two ester linkages.
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.
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.
Glycerol is the alcohol that form the base of a triglyceride.
Yes, a triglyceride is a type of fat.
Triglyceride is a simple fat, excess of dietary food or unabsorbed food turns into fat and deposits in blood in form of triglyceride.
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
