Triglycerides belong to the class of macromolecules of fats, although unlike carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins, triglycerides are not actually made by building blocks called monomers, they’re composed of a glycerol molecule esterified with 3 chains of fatty acids. High levels of serum triglycerides may be a risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction. The normal serum levels should be below 150 mg/dL. Ranges from 150 to 200 mg/dL are considered borderline. Ranges from 200 to 500 mg/dL are considered high, and over 500 mg/dL are considered dangerously high.
The correct answer is B
