Question

The glyceride that contains all three same acid groups, is called as:

• A. simple glyceride
• B. mixed glyceride
• C. compound glycerides
• D. Glycolipids

Answer 1

The correct option is A simple glyceride

Triglycerides are the triesters of glycerol with higher fatty acids.
When all the three acid groups are same, the triglyceride is called simple glycride.
When the three acid groups are different, the triglyceride is called mixed glycride.
Glycolipids are obtained when lipids associate with sugar.
