Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In a fat molecule, the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through the oxygen atom. During the ester bond formation, three molecules are released. Since fats consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol, they are also called triacylglycerols or triglycerides.
Detailed explanation-2: -A triglyceride (TG) molecule consists of a glycerol backbone esterified with three fatty acids. Triglycerides are the main constituent of vegetable and animal fats in the diet, and are the main constituent of the body’s fat stores. Serum or plasma total TG concentrations may be determined to assess metabolic disorders.
