<span>A monoglyceride is a molecule formed by a glycerol backbone and one
fatty acid covalently bonded to it through ester linkages.
</span>A diglyceride is a molecule formed by a glycerol backbone and two fatty acid chains covalently bonded to it through ester linkages.
A tryglyceride is a molecule formed by a glycerol backbone and three fatty
acid chains covalently bonded to it through ester linkages.
