No, a phospholipid is a lipid with a phosphate attached.
As regards Glycerine, it is a 3 carbon molecule with little else attached.
However, Glycerine can and does make other bonds - it can bond with [up to] three items, such as fatty-acids to form tri-acyl glycerol.
As pertains to the Question: tri-phospho-glycerate is a No Such.
A phospholipid has two fatty acid chains. These fatty acids are attached to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages to form the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid.
No, a phospholipid has two fatty acids tails. Triglycerides, tri meaning three, has three fatty acid tails.

The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Why there is a bend in fatty acid tail of the phospholipid molecule?
The bend in the fatty acid tail of a phospholipid molecule is due to the presence of double bonds in the carbon chain. These unsaturated fatty acids cause a kink or bend in the tail, affecting the fluidity and packing of phospholipid molecules in the cell membrane.
Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
The phosphate group in a phospholipid molecule is located in the hydrophilic "head" region of the molecule, which is made up of glycerol, phosphate, and a polar group such as choline or ethanolamine.
How many fatty acid chain are in a phospholpid?
A phospholipid contains two fatty acid chains.
How many types of fatty acids are found in human body?
There are two main types of fatty acids found in the human body: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids can be further classified into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
What are the component of phospholipid?
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
What are the fatty acids in the tail of the phospholipid molecule?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acids in a tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What is a phospholipid composes of?
a head (phosphate group) and two tails (fatty acids)
What are fatty acids in the tale of a phospholipid molecules are?
Lipids. Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acidsLauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid , Arachidonic Acid
On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
The hydrophobic part of a phospholipid is the fatty acid chains, which consist of long hydrocarbon tails. These tails repel water and are responsible for the phospholipid's overall hydrophobic nature.
The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?
There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.
Why there is a bend in fatty acid tail of the phospholipid molecule?
The bend in the fatty acid tail of a phospholipid molecule is due to the presence of double bonds in the carbon chain. These unsaturated fatty acids cause a kink or bend in the tail, affecting the fluidity and packing of phospholipid molecules in the cell membrane.
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
The phosphate group in a phospholipid molecule is located in the hydrophilic "head" region of the molecule, which is made up of glycerol, phosphate, and a polar group such as choline or ethanolamine.
