Triglycerides are beneficial because their long hydrocarbon tails store substantial chemical energy, and their insolubility prevents alterations to the cell's water potential.
Triglycerides offer benefits such as storing significant chemical energy in their long hydrocarbon tails and being insoluble, which prevents them from affecting the cell's water potential.
