A glycerol molecule and three butyric acid molecules are shown. Delete atoms and add bonds as necessary to form a triacylglycerol (triglyceride). Draw only the triacylglycerol product.
Draw a triacylglycerol (triglyceride) made from glycerol, myristic acid \( \left[\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{12} \mathrm{COOH}\right] \), palmitic acid \( \left[\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{14} \mathrm{COOH}\right] \), and oleic acid \( \left[\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7} \mathrm{COOH}(c i s)\right] \). Place palmitic acid at the middle position. Cis/trans isometry is graded; it may help to draw hydrogen atoms associated with the carbon atoms of the doable bond.
