The actual triglyceride doesn't have any functional groups. They have all been used during the making of the triglyceride. There used to be 3 hydroxyl functional groups on the glycerol backbone, and 3 carboxylic acid functional groups (1 each on the three fatty acids). However, after the fatty acids react (become esterified) with the alcoholic groups on glycerol, there are no more functional groups in the triglyceride.

What functional group is found in alcohol with 3 carbons?
A functional group is a group that defines the molecule.As you know the molecule in question is an alcohol then the functional group is an OH group
What functional group does the molecule below have?
Ether
What are the functional group present in caffeine?
The functional groups present in caffeine are alkene, amide, and amine.
What functional group can cause an organic molecule to act as an acid?
carboxalic group
What functional group or molecule maybe structural isomer of a ketone?
Aldehyde
What functional groups are present in the molecule responsible for the flavor of cinnamon?
Aldehyde (functional group). The molecule responsible is cinnamaldehyde.
What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Why functional group is a group but not a molecule?
Functional group is a part of an organic molecule which takes a part in chemical reaction for example in alcohols functional group is -OH , in carboxylic acids is -COOH and so on, but formaldehyde CH2O is a molecule and it is completely a functional group.
What functional group is present in a molecule that makes the molecule an amide?
A carbon atom that is doubly bonded to oxygen a single oxygen atom and singly bonded to the nitrogen atom of an NH2 group.
How many fatty acid chains are in a triglyceride?
There are three tails...each composed like so:H-C-HH-C-HH-C-HH-C-HH-C-HH-C-H.....(continuedH-C-HH
What group of atom determines many of the properties of an organic molecule?
Functional group
Which functional groups are lactones formed?
Lactones can be formed from the reaction of a hydroxy group of a molecule with a carboxylic acid functional group on the same molecule.
