- Neutral fats (triglycerides) are the most common way the body stores energy.
- Triglycerides are readily available to be used in cellular respiration when carbohydrates are not available.
Note: Triglycerides are made from three fatty acid chains bound together with one glycerol molecule by dehydration synthesis.
