Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triglycerides are formed from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids, making them a key type of lipid found in the body and in various foods. They do not consist of carbon rings, are not polymers of amino acids, are hydrophobic (not hydrophilic), and while they are found in fat cells and circulate in the blood, they are not a main component of cellular membranes.
