What are the three molecules attached to glycerol molecules?

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.


What molecule are the fatty acids attached to?

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.

A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of?

glycerol. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the three fatty acids are attached in a triglyceride molecule.


What are the acids attached to the glycerol molecule?

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.


In the triglyceride molecule shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule A.Nucleic acids?

What molecules are the building blocks of fats?

All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.


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.
