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.

A phospholipid has a phosphate group and 2 fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule and a triglyceride has 3 fatty acids attached to a glycerol only.

Function of phospholipids?
Phospholipids have several different functions. They can act as anchors to cell proteins and can also act as protein messengers.
What is the subunit of phospholipids?
Phospholipids are a class of lipids, which are major components of cell membranes. The three subunits of phospholipids are phosphate, glycerol and fatty acids.
