One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.

Triglyceride in which one fatty acid is replaced by a polar phosphate group?
phospholipid
What one molecule is always part of every fat?
Glycerol is always a part of every triglyceride and phospholipid.
A type of lipid in the cell membrane?
triglyceride saturated fat and cholesterol
How is each triglyceride different from each others?
it has different fatty acids
What is a phosopholipid molecule composed of?
A phospholipid molecule is composed of an organic phosphate group, a triglyceride, and two fatty acid chains. Within the phospohlipid there is a phosphodiester linkage and two ester linkages.
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?
There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.
Is a triglyceride a protein?
no. triglyceride is a lipid.
What is a simple triglyceride and A mixed triglyceride?
A simple triglyceride contains three identical acyl chains, whereas a mixed triglyceride has more than one type acyl chain.
What is a lipid that contains phosphorus and that is a structural component in cell membranes?
Our world has a lot of phosphorus in it. There are two different kinds of phosphorus, which includes man-made phosphorus and natural phosphorus. The phosphorus in our teeth, nails, and body fluids is natural. Other phosphorus in highlighter ink, laundry detergent, and televisions screens is man-made. All of these things will show under a black light.
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What alcohol found in a triglyceride?
Glycerol is the alcohol that form the base of a triglyceride.
