fatty acids
A triglyceride is three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule.

fatty acids and glycerol
There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.

Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
You have three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol. The fatty acids are usually have 16 to 20 carbon atoms in them.
