Triglyceride is also known as_____________?
Correct answer: B. Neutral lipid
- A. Natural lipid
- B. Neutral lipid
- C. Neutral wax
- D. All of these
Explanation
A triglyceride is formed when glycerol combines with three fatty acids, and it is called a neutral lipid because it has no charged ionic groups. Neutral wax is a different type of lipid made from a fatty acid and a long-chain alcohol. Students may choose natural lipid because triglycerides occur naturally, but the precise biochemical term among the options is neutral lipid.
