Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction shows glycerol reacting with three fatty acid molecules $(R_1COOH, R_2COOH, R_3COOH)$.When one molecule of glycerol reacts with three molecules of fatty acids,it forms a triglyceride (also known as triacylglycerol) through esterification.Since three fatty acid chains are attached to the glycerol backbone,the resulting product is a triglyceride.
