What molecule are the fatty acids attached to?

Fatty acids are typically attached to glycerol molecules to form triglycerides or to other molecules to form phospholipids. In both cases, the fatty acids are attached through ester bonds.


What are the acids attached to the glycerol molecule?

The acids attached to the glycerol molecule in a triglyceride are typically fatty acids. These fatty acids can vary in length and degree of saturation, which influences the physical properties of the triglyceride, such as its melting point and health effects.


What are the three molecules attached to glycerol molecules?

The three molecules attached to a glycerol molecule are fatty acids. These fatty acids form lipid molecules such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or waxes depending on the type and arrangement of the fatty acids bonded to the glycerol backbone.


What is the difference between fatty acids and free fatty acids?

Free fatty acids are those long chain acids (fatty acids) that are not conjugated or attached to anything else. That is, they are "free", and not bound. Fatty acids that are attached to, for example, glycerol, are not longer considered "free". They can also be bound to proteins, like albumin, again, making them not "free", because they are bound.
