The number of double bonds in a fatty acid chain determines the degree of saturation or unsatu-ration of a fatty acid. The number of fatty acids attached to the glycerol molecule determines whether it is a monoglyceride (one fatty acid), diglyceride (two fatty acids), or triglyceride (three fatty acids). There is never more than one glycerol molecule attached to a fatty acid and glycerol molecules do not vary in their degree of saturation or unsaturation.
