Answer:

Fat

Step-by-step explanation:

Triacylglycerols are one of the most common derivatives of fatty acids. Triacylglycerols are also known as fats or neutral fats and have three fatty acids joined to one glycerol backbone.

The three fatty acids are joined to single glycerol molecule via ester linkage. The function of triacylglycerols is to serve as storage lipids. They also provide insulation to organisms.
