How does the structure of a phosphlipid differ from the structure of a triglyceride?

Answer 1

In tryglyceride, the three hydroxyl groups of the glycerol moiety are esterified to fatty acid.
In phospholipid, only two of the hydroxyl groups are esterified to fatty acid, and the third one is esterified to phosphoric acid.
Phospholipid is a component of the membrane, with a polar head and a nonpolar hydrocarbon tail. Normally a small alcohol moiety is attached to the phosphate group also.

Answer 2

phospholipid= two fatty acids and a phosphate.
O
II

triglyceride = three fatty acids and no phosphate.
O
III

O = glycerol
I = fatty acid
phosphate not shown

Answer 3

i've got not got self assurance vegetation have "separate tissues" like we do. Their cells are surrounded by a inflexible cellular wall ( CELLULOSE the stuff we will not digest as quickly as we devour it) different than for this and the chloroplasts and chlorophyll our cells our comparable in its elementary anatomy. There are the main structures of the plant which will have diverse cellular orientations like the petals/roots/pistal and stamen and so on. yet I even have on no account heard them defined as tissues. desire this facilitates some.

Answer 4

phospholipid=a phosphate ion with two lipid tails

triglyceride=a glycerol molecule with three lipid tails
