Answer:

Simple fats, also known as Acylglycerides or neutral fats, are those that are composed of esterified Glycerol (ester formation) by one, two or three fatty acids, in which case we talk about: monoacylglyceride, diacylglyceride or triacylglyceride respectively. Example types of them are oils, lard and tallow.
