Question: what is the difference in function between triglycerides and phospholipids?

While triglycerides have glycerol and three fatty acids, phospholipids have glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate. Phosphates are molecules with charges and have oxygen and phosphorus. ... Fat cells do not store phospholipids.
