"Triglyceride- a compound consisting of three molecules of fatty acids bound with one molecule of glycerol; a neutral fat that is the usual storage form of lipids in animals."
So I am guessing that is a yes. :)

In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
How are fat molecules formed?
Fat molecules are made up of a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids. The fatty acids each consist of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, while the glycerol molecule has three hydroxyl groups that interact with each carboxyl.
What is a triglyceride is a common type of lipid contains?
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.
What molecules are released when fat undergoes a hydrolysis reaction?
A fat molecule forms when glycerol joins with three fatty acids as three water molecule are removed during dehydration reaction.
What two types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
What is a fat molecule made of?
A fat molecule is made up of glycerol which is linked to fatty acids.
What is three fatty acids linked to one glycerol molecule combin to form a?
The product is a triglyceride.
Are a kind of lipid that consists of two fatty acids and phosphate group?
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
What is a fat molecule is made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
What is a molecule that has a glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and phosphate containing compound?
Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).
How many fatty acids and glycerol do triglycerides contain?
The triglyceride molecule consists of three lipids bonded one each to the three Carbons of glycerol.
What is a large fat molecule made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
How a lipid is formed?
A lipid is formed by three molecules of fatty acids linked to a molecule of glycerol by means of ester bond

What are the acids attached to the glycerol molecule?
