Fats and oils are made from two kinds of molecules: glycerol (a type of alcohol with a hydroxyl group on each of its three carbons) and three fatty acids joined by dehydration synthesis. Since there are three fatty acids attached, these are known as triglycerides. "Bread" and pastries from a "bread factory" often contain mono- and diglycerides as "dough conditioners." Can you figure out what these molecules would look like? The main distinction between fats and oils is whether they're solid or liquid at room temperature, and this, as we'll soon see, is based on differences in the structures of the fatty acids they contain.
