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: -The building block of lipids is a glycerol molecule. Glycerol is an alcohol molecule with three hydroxyl groups (-OH). These hydroxyl groups are reactive and can form ester bonds with fatty acids. When three fatty acids bond with a glycerol molecule through ester bonds, a triacylglycerol (or triglyceride) is formed.
