Answer;

-Triglyceride or Fats

Step-by-step explanation;

-Fat consists of two parts: glycerol backbone and three fatty acids tails. fatty acid consists of long hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group. glycerol is organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups.

-Triglycerides are fats from the food we eat that are carried in the blood. Most of the fats we eat, including butter, margarines and oils, are in triglyceride form. They are the most common type of fat in the body. Triglycerides are necessary for health but in excess amounts, they may be harmful and may increase the risk of heart disease.
