Lipids {triglyceride}| {triacylglycerol} can combine three fatty acids and one glycerol. Glycerol can attach fatty acid at each alcohol. Triglycerides {fat, biochemistry} can have three saturated fatty acids. Triglycerides {oil, biochemistry} can have three unsaturated fatty acids.
synthesis
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate reduces to glycerol-3-phosphate, in glycolysis pathway. Acetyl-CoA binds to two glycerol-3-phosphate hydroxyls, to make phosphatidic acid. Replacing phosphatidic acid phosphate group with fatty acid makes triglyceride.
