Detailed explanation-1: -A triglyceride molecule is formed by joining of one molecule of glycerol to three fatty acids combined with glycerol. Each fatty acid is joined and combined with the glycerol forming an ester bond in three condensation reaction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipogenesis encompasses both fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, with the latter being the process by which fatty acids are esterified to glycerol before being packaged into very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).
Detailed explanation-3: -The dehydration synthesis of triglyceride is a condensation reaction in which one molecule of glycerol reacts with three fatty acids to form a triglyceride. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups and fatty acids have carboxylic groups so they condense together with the loss of three water molecules and form an ester bond.
