Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides are formed inside plant and animal cells by attaching fatty acids to glycerol molecules, creating an ester linkage. This reaction is called a dehydration synthesis because a water molecule is formed by “pulling out” two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen from the reactants.
