Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides are formed by the condensation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid. A condensation reaction between glycerol and a fatty acid (RCOOH) forms an ester bond. The R-group of a fatty acid may be saturated or unsaturated.

Detailed explanation-2: -A triglyceride is formed when the three hydroxyls (OH-) groups of a single glycerol molecule react with the carboxyl group (COOH-) of three fatty acids by forming ester bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -A triglyceride forms from a glycerol and three fatty acids as a result of a condensation reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fatty acids are synthesized through the condensation of 2-carbon units which is the acetyl CoA molecule.
