Glycerol is a subunit molecule of a lipid. It is a three carbon alcohol that forms the backbone of most lipid molecules in the body.
Glycerol
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.
a triglyceride
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. A triglyceride is a common type of lipid, which contains a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. Most of the lipids (fats) that humans digest are triglycerides.
The radius of a glycerol molecule is about 4.35 angstroms.

Glycerol (glycerin) exist in all triglycerides.

Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides. In a triglyceride, three fatty acids bond to the three carbon atoms of the glycerol molecule.
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.

Glycerol
Many lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with compounds called fatty acids.
