Name two structural characteristics that triglycerides and phospholipids have in common

Explanation:

Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides in that way phospholipids have glycerol, two fatty acids and phosphate group. On the other hand  triglycerides have glycerol backbone and three fatty acids. But they do vary slightly in form and functions. phosphates are molecules with charges and have oxygen and phosphorus.  

Phospholipids are molecules with hydrophilic phosphate head and hydrophobic lipid tail, it regulates the cellular processes. While triglycerides is the type of fat found in blood but when it increases raise the heart diseases.

 But a triglycerides contains three fatty acids attached to the glycerol backbone, while a phospholipid has two fatty acids plus a phosphate group attached to the glycerol. The phosphate group a charged molecule made up of phosphorus and oxygen not only alters the structure of a lipid, but also its functions.
