Q.A triglyceride is formed when one molecule of glycerol reacts with three fatty acid molecules through:

[!TLDR]

A triglyceride forms when glycerol is esterified with three fatty acids through three ester bonds, releasing three water molecules. …

A triglyceride is formed by a condensation (esterification) reaction between one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules: the -OH group at each of glycerol's three carbon positions reacts with the -COOH group of a fatty acid to form an ester bond, releasing one water molecule per bond formed, for a total of three water molecules released. Peptide bonds join amino acids in proteins, glycosidic bonds join monosaccharides in c …

Match "glycerol + three fatty acids" specifically to ester-bond (esterification/condensation) chemistry, distinct from the peptide, glycosi …

Confusing the ester bonds of triglyceride formation with the structurally different glyc …
