What are the monomers of triglyceride?

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.


Does triglycerides have a phosphate group?

No, triglycerides do not contain a phosphate group. Triglycerides are composed of three fatty acids linked to a glycerol molecule. Phospholipids, on the other hand, have a phosphate group in addition to fatty acids and glycerol.
