Glycerol is another name of Glycerin, (1,2,3-propatriol).
Glycerol
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.
Lipids are formed by combining one molecule of glycerol with three fatty acid molecules through dehydration synthesis. This process results in the formation of a lipid molecule called a triglyceride.
Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.

fatty acids
glycerol. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the three fatty acids are attached in a triglyceride molecule.
Lipid monomers have 2 parts- two or three fatty acids bond to one glycerol
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.

fatty acids
The acids attached to the glycerol molecule in a triglyceride are typically fatty acids. These fatty acids can vary in length and degree of saturation, which influences the physical properties of the triglyceride, such as its melting point and health effects.
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.
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.
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.
