Triglycerides are essentially made of glycerol (propan-tri-ol = CH2OH-CHOH-CH2OH) with three (tri) acid groups bound on the 3 hydroxyl groups: formed by ester bonds.
If these acid groups come from three fatty acids (CH3-(CH2)n-COOH with n is even number) these groups are called -acyl groups (-COOH). So that's why it is called triACYLglycerol or triacylglycerides.
However if another acid is ester-bound to glycerol it is called after that (kind of) acid:
by example with nitric acid ( HO-N(=O)2 ) the ester name is triNITROglycerol better known as
nitroglycerine, a heavy, colorless, oily, explosive liquid (1860, by Alfred Nobel)
What else can I help you with?
What is used for insulation and storage of energy in the body?
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
What do oils and fats dissolve in?
Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
What are the fats and oils that constitute the lipids of the human diet called?
The fats and oils that make up the lipids in the human diet are called triglycerides. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule.
What are fats called that are liquid at room temp?
Fats that are liquid at room temperature are called oils. They are typically derived from plants and are unsaturated fats. Examples include olive oil, canola oil, and sunflower oil.
Where do the fats and oils used in soap making come from?
The fats and oils used in soap making primarily come from both animal and plant sources. Common animal fats include tallow (beef fat) and lard (pork fat), while popular plant oils include olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil. These fats and oils undergo a chemical reaction called saponification when combined with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide, to produce soap. The choice of fats and oils affects the soap's properties, such as lathering ability and moisturizing qualities.
Commonly called fats and oils?
Lipids are commonly called fats and oils.
What are the fats and oils that make mixtures crumbly called?
Those fats and oils are called shortening.
A molecule that can be found in oils and fats is called?
A molecule that is found in oils and fats is triglycerides.
What is commonly called fats and oils?
Lipids
Do liquid fats called oils contain more hydrogen atoms than hard fats?
No. Oils have less hydrogen atoms as compared to fats. Because oils contain double bonds and fats are saturated.
Fats oils waxes and steroids are collectively called?
Fats, oilds, waxes, and steroids are collectively called lipids
Fats and oils are classified as what?
lipids

What is healthy oil?
The healthiest oils are oils that have polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The healthiest oils are oils packed with saturated fats.
What do oils and fats dissolve in?
Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
What are lipids commonly called?
Lipids are commonly referred to as Fats, OIls, and Waxes.
