Glycerol and Fatty Acids. One major class of lipids is called glycerolipids. Glycerolipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol , whose structural formula is shown at right, has three carbon atoms, each of which has a hydroxyl (-OH) group bound to it. Fatty acids are fairly long linear hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end.
