Question

write the structure formula of simple triglycerides

Answer 1

STRUCTURE OF A TRIGLYCERIDES:

The main molecule that starts the structure of a triglyceride is glycerol. Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule with three hydroxyl groups on them. These hydroxyl groups are the site of an ester reaction with three fatty acid molecules. The fatty acids can be different types, and the fatty acid structure defines the type of triglyceride. The fatty acids are long chains of carbons with bonded Hydrogens. These are the parts of the triglycerides that are used for energy production.
