No, a phospholipid is a lipid with a phosphate attached.
As regards Glycerine, it is a 3 carbon molecule with little else attached.
However, Glycerine can and does make other bonds - it can bond with [up to] three items, such as fatty-acids to form tri-acyl glycerol.
As pertains to the Question: tri-phospho-glycerate is a No Such.

The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
Phospholipid molecule is actually almost similar to a lipid molecule. It is a alcohol connected to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.(In lipids, its connected to 3 fatty acids)
What two parts make up a lipid?
a glycerol and 3 fatty acids for a generic fat. a phosphate group, glycerol and two fatty acid chains for a phospholipid...
What kind of lipid breaks down into glycerol and phosphate?
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
What is the difference between fat and phospholipid?
the "phospho" part. fat=lipid To be more specific, a fat is composed of glycerol (an alcohol) and fatty acids (triglycerides). A phospholipid has a hydrophobic tail, and a hydrophilic phosphate group. Think of a phospholipid as a glycerol molecule attached to a long chain of fatty acids dangling off to the right. (depending on perspective) Connected to the top of the glycerol molecule is a phosphate group, which is water loving. There is also an additional polar group. -R
What are the component of phospholipid?
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
What are the fatty acids in the tail of the phospholipid molecule?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acids in a tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What is a phospholipid composes of?
a head (phosphate group) and two tails (fatty acids)
On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids
Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
Phospholipid molecule is actually almost similar to a lipid molecule. It is a alcohol connected to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.(In lipids, its connected to 3 fatty acids)
What are fatty acids in the tale of a phospholipid molecules are?
Lipids. Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acidsLauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid , Arachidonic Acid
Are a kind of lipid that consists of two fatty acids and phosphate group?
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
Glycerol and fatty acids corresponds with what?
Lipids.With two fatty acid tails, and a glycerol head, it is a phospholipid. If there is three tails, it is fat.
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
