Answer 2

Answer:

Trihydroxypropane is component of Lipids.

Explanation:

Glucose is the general name of Trihydroxypropane , and has very much importance in the biological structures. It is given by the formula  C₃H₈O₃.

The basic function of glycerol in our body is to produce the fat by the esterification reaction between glycerol and fattyacids.

Trihydroxypropane is a molecule consisting of three hydroxyl groups. Hydrogen is lost from each of the hydroxyl groups and hydroxide ion is lost from the 3 fatty acid molecules which take place in the presence of a dehydrating agent and thus forms fat. Three molecules of water are liberated in the formation of one molecule of fat and are removed by the dehydrating agent.

Lipids are used as a fatty acids which causes the esterification of glycerol, so Trihydroxypropane is a component of lipids.
