Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The building blocks of lipids are one glycerol molecule and at least one fatty acid, with a maximum of three fatty acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Triglycerides. Triglycerides are composed of a glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acids and are digested by pancreatic lipase. Triglycerides are a major component of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and serve as a source of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycerol and fatty acids are the basic building blocks of fats (lipids). Fats are the product of the esterification of the trivalent alcohol glycerol with fatty acids of different lengths (between 12 and 20 carbon atoms). Two important representatives of the lipids are triglyceride (90% of fats) and cholesterol.
