Detailed explanation-1: -The main diffrences between a trglyceride and a phospholipid are: • a phospholipid contains two fatty acid components but a triglyceride contains three. a phospholipid contains a phosphate group but a triglyceride does not. a phospholipid contains an extra alcohol attached to the phosphate, the triglyceride does not.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides In having fatty acid residues as part of their structure. Phospholipids are different from triglycerides in having a phosphate group as a result of which they are partially soluble in water, whereas triglycerides are completely insoluble in water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fatty acids make up the bulk of a triglyceride molecule, and, although fatty acids and triglycerides are closely related, they differ in structure, function and the manner in which your body processes them. The types of fatty acids you consume from the triglycerides in your diet play a role in your health as well.
