- Three fatty acids and one glycerol molecule make up one triglyceride molecule.
- The molecules bond with an ester bond again a condensation reaction.
- The bond is between an oxygen and carbon atom (the carbon has a double bond between an oxygen).
- A saturated lipid has a chain of hydrocarbons which is saturated with hydrogen atoms.
- An unsaturated lipid…
