fatty acids
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.

FATTY ACIDS APEX
The three molecules attached to a glycerol molecule are fatty acids. These fatty acids form lipid molecules such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or waxes depending on the type and arrangement of the fatty acids bonded to the glycerol backbone.
Fatty acids are typically attached to glycerol molecules to form triglycerides or to other molecules to form phospholipids. In both cases, the fatty acids are attached through ester bonds.
Fatty acids (apex)
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
Yes, glycerol is a component of fat molecules known as triglycerides. Triglycerides consist of a glycerol molecule attached to three fatty acid molecules. Glycerol provides the backbone structure for storing and transporting fats in the body.
The fats and oils that produce glycerol are composed of triglycerides. A single molecule of glycerol has three molecules of fatty acids attached to it.

fatty acids and glycerol
A fat molecule is made of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. The fatty acids provide energy storage and insulation, while glycerol serves as a backbone for the fatty acids to attach to.
