What is the Difference between phospholipids and triglycerides?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
A triglyceride is a polymer composed of a single glycerol molecule linked up to three fatty acid chains. A phospholipid is two fatty acid chains linked up to a phosphorus head. The primary function of a triglyercide is energy storage, whereas a phospholipid's primary function is the primary component of cell membranes. Both are lipids.
