Question

1. what is the name of this structure?

options:
polysaccharide
triglyceride
fatty acid
glycogen

Explanation:

This structure consists of a glycerol backbone (the 3-carbon chain with -OH groups esterified) linked to three long-chain fatty acid tails via ester bonds, which is the defining structure of a triglyceride. Polysaccharides/glycogen are carbohydrate polymers, and fatty acids are single long-chain carboxylic acids, not the ester-linked complex shown.

Answer:

triglyceride
