Isn't a phospholipid comprised of a phosphate group & fatty acid? Why does the mark scheme say glycerol & fatty acid? Isn't that for triglycerides?

Hi there,
phospholipids still have a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.
triglycerides have 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids
phospholipids replace one of the fatty acids with a phosphate group-> so they are now made up of a phosphate group, 1 glycerol molecule + 2 fatty acids
