Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Match Triglyceride to the correct macromolecule:
A
Protein
B
Lipid
C
Carbohydrate
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides are macromolecules called lipids, better known as fats or oils. Triglycerides are named for the monomer components they contain. “Tri” means three, and triglycerides are built from monomers of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three important families of lipids: fats, phospholipids and steroids. Fats are large molecules made of two types of molecules, glycerol and some type of fatty acid. The fatty acid has a long chain of carbon and hydrogen, usually referred to as the hydrocarbon tail, with a carboxyl group head.

Detailed explanation-3: -Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids); each is an important cell component and performs a wide array of functions.
