Lipids or fats are the class of macromolecules made up of fatty acids and glycerol. N, P, C, H, O are the elements that makes them. Lipids has a basic characteristic where it has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail (fatty acid).
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.
The dehydration synthesis of three fatty acids and glycerol forms a triglyceride molecule. This process involves the removal of water molecules to link the fatty acids to the glycerol backbone, creating a molecule with three fatty acid chains bound to a glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are a type of lipid commonly found in the body and serve as a concentrated source of energy.
Most fat exists in the form of triglycerides in both food and the body. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule. In the body, triglycerides are stored in fat cells as a source of energy.
Amino acids in a protein are bound together by peptide bonds. These bonds form when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another, releasing a water molecule in a condensation reaction.
Fats contain fatty acids and gycerols.Fatty acids are saturated carboxylic acids which have pretty high molecular weight.Example-citric acid.Lower homologues like acetic acid,oxalic acid,formic acid are not regarded as fatty acids.

A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule Glycerol, C3H5(OH)3.
The subunit of triglycerides is glycerol and fatty acids. Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acid molecules.

They are the lipids. It has two monomer types.
Triglycerides are macromolecules made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule. They function as a major energy storage form in organisms and also serve as a structural component of cell membranes.
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.
There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.
