This document discusses fats and oils. It defines them as esters of fatty acids and glycerol that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The document outlines the structure of a triglyceride, the main component of fats and oils, and describes how triglycerides interact with water to form micelles which allow fats and oils to be absorbed and transported in the body.
