Glycerol, also called glycerin or glycerine, is an organic compound. It is called this because it contains carbon molecules as seen through the formula C3H5(OH)3. Because carbon is such a common element and makes up so much of our chemical compositions it is called organic.
When you heat glycerol with potassium dichromate, the dichromate ion oxidizes the glycerol to form products including carbon dioxide, water, and potentially other byproducts. This is a common reaction used to demonstrate oxidation of organic compounds in the laboratory.
Lipid
A lipid is composed of glycerol and three fatty acids (usually long-chain).
Glycerol is colorless.
Glycerol is singular. The noun glycerol is an uncountable (mass) noun, a word for a substance.
it is organic
only glycerol is an organic compound. Rest are inorganic.
only glycerol is an organic compound. Rest are inorganic.
While both are organic molecules, glycerol has everything to do with lipids and proteins are in their 'own league'.

Glycerol & Fatty acids
Acylglycerophosphoglycerol is another name for phosphatidylglycerol, a phospholipid in which the small organic molecule is glycerol.
Glycerol is a small organic molecule that belongs to the family of alcohols. It is not a macromolecule but rather a component of lipids, such as triglycerides, where it acts as a backbone for fatty acids to attach to.

Triglycerides are organic compounds, specifically esters of glycerin with organic acids.
