Answer:

Chemical composition/components.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, but they do vary slightly in form and function. Both have fatty acids and a glycerol.

A triglyceride molecule contains three fatty acids attached to the glycerol backbone, while a phospholipid molecule has two fatty acids plus a phosphate group attached to the glycerol.
