When fatty acids attach to glycerol, the result is a lipid of the class known as:. a) glycerides. b) monosaccharides. c) steroids. d) eicosanoids.

a) glycerides

Explanation:

When fatty acid attaches to glycerol through esterification the resultant lipid is called glycerides. Triglycerides are the main type of fat that is found in vertebrates including humans. It is also the main component of vegetable fat.

These triglycerides act as the energy reserves in the body and provide more than twice energy provided by carbohydrates and protein. They are used by the body when the other energy reserves get depleted in the body. When three fatty acid attaches to glycerol it forms triglycerides.
