Detailed explanation-1: -Fats or triglycerides are a form of simple lipids . Shown here is the condensation reaction between glycerol and fatty acids to form a triglyceride.
Detailed explanation-2: -A triglyceride is formed when the three hydroxyls (OH-) groups of a single glycerol molecule react with the carboxyl group (COOH-) of three fatty acids by forming ester bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -A triglyceride forms from a glycerol and three fatty acids as a result of a condensation reaction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each fatty acid is joined and combined with the glycerol forming an ester bond in three condensation reaction. Hydrolysis causes the breakdown of the triglyceride and produces glycerol and three fatty acids. These are the esters of fatty acids with alcohol (with higher molecular weight) other than glycerol.
