The IUPAC name for this product is propane-1-2-3-triol.
Propane's formula is C3H8. Link three carbon atoms into a chain then attach a hydrogen atom at every open bonding site, and you have propane. If you were to peel off three of those hydrogens, one from each carbon, stick oxygen atoms where they once were, and put the hydrogens back, you would have glycerol.

What is the size of a glycerol molecule in Angstroms?
The radius of a glycerol molecule is about 4.35 angstroms.
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of?
glycerol. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the three fatty acids are attached in a triglyceride molecule.
What molecule contains glycerol?
Glycerol (glycerin) exist in all triglycerides.
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
Which type of molecule contains alcohol glycerol?
Glycerol is a trihydric alcohol, which means it contains three hydroxyl (OH) groups. This makes glycerol a polyol or a triol molecule.
What is a glycerol a subunit molecule of?
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of lipids, specifically triglycerides. It is a backbone component that combines with fatty acids to form triglycerides, which are a type of fat molecule used for energy storage in the body.
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of a what?
lipid
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of?
lipid
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
What two types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
What are the components of a lipids molecule?
One glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecule
