The three molecules attached to a glycerol molecule are fatty acids. These fatty acids form lipid molecules such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or waxes depending on the type and arrangement of the fatty acids bonded to the glycerol backbone.
One [glycerin] glycerol molecule attached to three lipid [fatty acid] molecules.
In a triglyceride molecule, the three molecules attached to the glycerol are fatty acids. Each fatty acid is esterified to the glycerol backbone, forming the triglyceride structure. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are not components of triglycerides; they are entirely different macromolecules involved in genetic information storage and transfer.
This molecule is called a triglyceride. It is a type of lipid that consists of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are a major form of fat storage in the body and are important for energy storage and insulation.
Fat molecules are made up of a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids. The fatty acids each consist of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, while the glycerol molecule has three hydroxyl groups that interact with each carboxyl.
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
Three water molecules are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with three fatty acid molecules in a condensation reaction. Each fatty acid molecule contributes a water molecule when it reacts with the glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride.
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.
