Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides, or fats, are formed from the combination of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Triglycerides are formed through dehydration reactions. Another word for triglyceride is triacylglycerol. Fats can be solid (such as coconut oil) or liquid (such as vegetable oil) at room temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Triglycerides are lipid compounds composed of a glycerol esterified to 3 fatty acid chains of varying length and composition. These fatty acid chains can be saturated or unsaturated, and the chemical composition of each chain is different.
