Fatty acids are one of the components of triglycerides. A triglyceride is made up of three long fatty acids chains, each of them attached to the same glycerol molecule - the part that holds the triglyceride together.
A triglyceride consists of a glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acid molecules via ester linkages. This forms a lipid molecule that serves as a major component of fats and oils in living organisms.
They attach, via ester bonds, to the glycerol (glycerine) backbone.
it has different fatty acids
The functional group present in a triglyceride molecule is the ester group. Triglycerides are composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acid molecules through ester linkages. This functional group is formed through a condensation reaction between the hydroxyl group of glycerol and the carboxyl group of the fatty acids.
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.
A triglyceride with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone has a structure where the fatty acid is attached to one of the three hydroxyl groups on the glycerol molecule. This forms an ester bond between the fatty acid and the glycerol, creating a molecule with a glycerol backbone and one fatty acid chain attached.
A polyunsaturated triglyceride contains more than one double bond in the fatty acid carbon atoms. These double bonds can be found in different positions along the carbon chain of the fatty acids, leading to varying degrees of unsaturation in the triglyceride molecule.

This is a description of the general class of macromolecule called a triglyceride.
Strictly speaking, no they are not. When a fatty acid is reacted with glycerine and forms the triglyceride then it is a fat or oil.
Glycerol
it has different fatty acids
Trioelein is a triglyceride. It is derived from glycerol and three units of the unsaturated and oleic acid. Oleic acid is a fatty acid.
Glycerol is the alcohol in a triglyceride molecule that serves as the backbone to which three fatty acid chains attach. The process of attaching the fatty acids to the glycerol molecule forms a triglyceride, a type of lipid that is commonly found in fats and oils.
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule Glycerol, C3H5(OH)3.
One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.
