The actual triglyceride doesn't have any functional groups. They have all been used during the making of the triglyceride. There used to be 3 hydroxyl functional groups on the glycerol backbone, and 3 carboxylic acid functional groups (1 each on the three fatty acids). However, after the fatty acids react (become esterified) with the alcoholic groups on glycerol, there are no more functional groups in the triglyceride.

All functional groups are specific arrangements of atoms within a molecule that are responsible for the characteristic chemical properties of that molecule. They typically include an atom or group of atoms that imparts reactivity and specific chemical behavior to the molecule in which they are present.
A carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) can cause an organic molecule to act as an acid. It donates a proton (H+) in solution, making the molecule acidic.
Triglycerides contain ester functional groups, which are formed from the reaction between glycerol and fatty acids. Each triglyceride molecule consists of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages.
The functional group found in an alcohol with 3 carbons is the hydroxyl group, which is represented as -OH.
Aldehyde (functional group). The molecule responsible is cinnamaldehyde.
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Functional group is a part of an organic molecule which takes a part in chemical reaction for example in alcohols functional group is -OH , in carboxylic acids is -COOH and so on, but formaldehyde CH2O is a molecule and it is completely a functional group.
There are three tails...each composed like so:H-C-HH-C-HH-C-HH-C-HH-C-HH-C-H.....(continuedH-C-HH
The hydroxyl (-OH) functional group in carbohydrates makes them polar. This group is present in monosaccharides like glucose and fructose, adding polarity to the molecule.
A carbon atom that is doubly bonded to oxygen a single oxygen atom and singly bonded to the nitrogen atom of an NH2 group.
Functional group
Lactones can be formed from the reaction of a hydroxy group of a molecule with a carboxylic acid functional group on the same molecule.

Functional Group! :)
