Question 19.2: Identifying Triglycerides Identify the triglycerides and cla......

Triglycerides are readily identified by the three-carbon backbone with long fatty acid tails. Both (b) and (c) are triglycerides. The triglyceride in (b) is a saturated fat because it does not have any double bonds in its carbon chains. The triglyceride in (c) is an unsaturated fat because it contains double bonds in its carbon chains. Neither (a) nor (d) is a triglyceride.
