Here is the answer...!!!

In both plants and animals, triglycerides share the same structure. A single triglyceride molecule has glycerol and three fatty acids. ... In humans, high concentrations of triglycerides can lead to more visible body fat, as well as an elevated risk of certain diseases, such as heart attack and stroke.

Hope it helps...!!

here is your explanation

_________________________________________________________

Triglycerides are a kind of fat found in the bodies of both plants and animals. In plants, triglycerides appear in oils such as peanut oil, while in animals triglycerides live in fat cells. In both plants and animals, triglycerides share the same structure. A single triglyceride molecule has glycerol and three fatty acids.

Triglycerides serve several functions in the body. First, they help maintain the structure of cell membranes by forming a lipid bilayer. This helps keep the inside and outside of cells separate, so organelles cannot drift out of the cell, and foreign substances cannot get in, except under special circumstances

Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, but they do vary slightly in form and function. While triglycerides have glycerol and three fatty acids, phospholipids have glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate. Phosphates are molecules with charges and have oxygen and phosphorus. Because fats must contain three fatty acids by definition, phospholipids are not fats, as triglycerides are, despite their similarities.

Like triglycerides, phospholipids are crucial to the formation of lipid bilayers, which help maintain the structure of cell membranes. However, phospholipids have a more rigid chemical structure than triglycerides do, so they make cell membranes tougher and help them to hold their shape better than triglycerides alone could
