Fatty acid esters of glycerol are commonly known as fats or triglycerides. They are composed of three fatty acid molecules joined to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages. Fats serve as a major energy source for the body and are essential for various physiological functions.
Fats are esters. They are composed of fatty acids (long-chain carboxylic acids) esterified with glycerol (a trihydroxy alcohol).
Glycerol has 3 OH groups and a fatty acid has one carboxyl group. One mole of Glycerol reacts with 3 moles of fatty acid to give 3 moles of water and one of the glycerine tri-ester - more commonly called a triglceride.
The subunit of triglycerides is glycerol and fatty acids. Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acid molecules.
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
Neutral fats, also known as triglycerides, are composed of three fatty acid molecules bound to a glycerol molecule. This structure is formed through dehydration synthesis, where the fatty acids bond with the glycerol by removing water molecules.
