Understand that fats stored in the body are a type of lipid, which are organic compounds that are hydrophobic or insoluble in water.
Recognize that triglycerides are the most common type of fat found in the body and are used for long-term energy storage.
Recall that triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, which is where they get their name.
Differentiate triglycerides from other lipids such as phospholipids, which are major components of cell membranes, and steroids, which include hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
Identify that cholesterol, while a lipid, is not primarily used for energy storage but rather as a component of cell membranes and a precursor for steroid hormones.
