FATTY ACIDS APEX
Fatty acids are typically attached to glycerol molecules to form triglycerides or to other molecules to form phospholipids. In both cases, the fatty acids are attached through ester bonds.

FATTY ACIDS APEX
Yes, glycerol is a component of fat molecules known as triglycerides. Triglycerides consist of a glycerol molecule attached to three fatty acid molecules. Glycerol provides the backbone structure for storing and transporting fats in the body.
Fatty acids (apex)
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.
