A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule Glycerol, C3H5(OH)3.
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule Glycerol, C3H5(OH)3.
Glycerol
glycerol. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the three fatty acids are attached in a triglyceride molecule.
Fatty acids (apex)
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
Three fatty acids are added to a glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride molecule. This process involves the removal of three water molecules, resulting in ester linkages between the fatty acids and the glycerol.
A triglyceride consists of a glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acid molecules via ester linkages. This forms a lipid molecule that serves as a major component of fats and oils in living organisms.
One glycerol molecule joined to three fatty acids by ester linkages. answer here...
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
A triglyceride is a macromolecule composed of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids.
The monomers of triglyceride are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule with hydroxyl groups, and fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end. When these two components combine through dehydration synthesis, they form a triglyceride molecule with three fatty acid chains attached to the glycerol backbone.
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.
