Triglyceride formation involves esterification between glycerol and fatty acids, releasing water. Breakdown occurs via hydrolysis, which breaks ester bonds and adds water.
La formación de un triglicérido implica la esterificación entre glicerol y ácidos grasos, liberando agua. La degradación ocurre por hidrólisis, que rompe los enlaces éster y añade agua.
