Many lipids are formed when glycerol molecule combines with compounds?

Answer 1

This question doesn't really make sense. Lipids are the combination of a glycerol backbone with three fatty acid chains attached to it. The length and hydrogen saturation of the carbon atoms that form the links of the fatty acid chains determine the physical properties of the lipid in question. When all the carbon is fully saturated, meaning two of its bonds are linked to other carbons in the chain, and two are taken up by hydrogens off to the sides, the chain will be straight. If a hydrogen is missing, then the carbon will be double-bonded to another carbon, to fill all four of its available bonds, which produces a kink in the chain due to the Y-like shape of double bond structures.The saturated fatty acids have an easier time fitting together, as they are all alike in shape, meaning that they solidify at or near room temperature. Unsaturated fats, or lipids, do not fit together as well, and remain liquid under the same conditions. It is thought that the ease of becoming "gooey" might be responsible for the increase in clogged arteries in persons who eat more saturated fats, though there are many other variables at work.

Answer 2

The another compound which form lipid with glycerol are carboxylic acid with long chain of hydrocarbon e.g. triacylglycerol which is formed by three fatty acids ester linded with glycerol. The three fatty acid can be same of different. R-COOH + GLYCEROL ---------> LIPIDS (acylglycerol)
