∙ 13y agoThe term fatty acid is misleading because it refers to both Fats and Oils.
Fats come from animals and are solid at room temperature [because they contain more straight-leg or saturated fatty-acids], while oils come from plants and are liquid at room temperature. Both possess an acid / polar end [head] and an uncharged / nonpolar tail.

Glycerol and fatty acids are building blocks for what?
They are the building blocks of fats and oils. Three molecules of fatty acids are attached to one molecule of the glycerol. Saturated fatty acids give you fats. Polyunsaturated fatty acids give you oils.
