FATTY ACIDS APEX
the basic unit off of lipids is glcouse and energy
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
Fatty acids (apex)
There is no alcohol in a triglyceride, but one is produced when it is hydrolysed. This alcohol is glycerol.
Glycerol
The fats and oils that produce glycerol are composed of triglycerides. A single molecule of glycerol has three molecules of fatty acids attached to it.
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
Triglycerides are composed of three molecules of the alcohol glycerol. Phospholipids have two, rather than three, fatty acids attached to the molecule of glycerol. Steroids are composed of four fused carbon rings with various functional groups attached to them.
a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. A triglyceride is a common type of lipid, which contains a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. Most of the lipids (fats) that humans digest are triglycerides.

fatty acids
Triglycerides are molecules made from three molecules, usually fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. They are more often known as lipids, or fats. A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long alkyl group.
Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides. In a triglyceride, three fatty acids bond to the three carbon atoms of the glycerol molecule.
