triglyceride
When glycerol combines with fatty acids through dehydration synthesis, it forms triglycerides, which are a type of lipid. This process involves the formation of ester bonds as water molecules are released, linking the glycerol backbone to three fatty acid chains. Triglycerides are a major form of stored energy in the body and are found in fat tissues. They play a crucial role in energy metabolism and insulation.
