Question

select the true statements. triglycerides have carbon atoms arranged in rings. triglycerides have mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. fats contain nitrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Fatty acids are long - chain hydrocarbons (mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms). Triglycerides do not have carbon atoms arranged in rings (that is more characteristic of some other organic molecules like cyclic hydrocarbons or some complex organic compounds like steroids which are different from triglycerides). Fats (triglycerides) are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Nitrogen is not a component of triglycerides.

Answer:

Triglycerides have mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms.
