52. Types of Lipids 1.Triglycerides formed by the union of 3 fatty acids and an alcohol called glycerol those composed of saturated fatty acids are called fats and are made in plants those that are composed of unsaturated fatty acids are called oils and are found in oils excess carbohydrates in the body are converted to triglycerides until the energy is needed.
