multiple choice question
when a glycerol molecule is chemically bonded to three fatty acids, it becomes a specific type of lipid called a(n) ______.

• glycolysis
• triglyceride
• adenosine triphosphate
• glyceraldehyde

Explanation:

• Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway, not a lipid formed from glycerol and fatty acids.
• Triglyceride is defined as a lipid formed when one glycerol molecule bonds with three fatty acid molecules, matching the description.
• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy - carrying molecule, not a lipid of this type.
• Glyceraldehyde is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) and not related to the combination of glycerol and three fatty acids.

Answer:

B. triglyceride
