Glycerol and fatty acids corresponds with what?

Lipids.With two fatty acid tails, and a glycerol head, it is a phospholipid. If there is three tails, it is fat.


What three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule?

A triglyceride is three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule.


How many fatty acids does a phospholipid have?

No, a phospholipid is a lipid with a phosphate attached. As regards Glycerine, it is a 3 carbon molecule with little else attached. However, Glycerine can and does make other bonds - it can bond with [up to] three items, such as fatty-acids to form tri-acyl glycerol. As pertains to the Question: tri-phospho-glycerate is a No Such.

What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?

There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.


What substances are found in oil?

What is a molecule that has a glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and phosphate containing compound?

Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).


Where are the fats and oils from that produces glycerin?

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.
