fatty acids and glycerol
A 3 carbon chain .
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.
One [glycerin] glycerol molecule attached to three lipid [fatty acid] molecules.
There are 3 carbon atoms in one molecule of glycerol.
