Difference between glycerol,glycerides, trigylcerides, phospholipid, cholesterol, chylomicrons?

^ for forms of lipids (dot point 9.2.2.A1 "identify the form(s) in which each of the following is carried in mammalian blood... lipids" as they're transported in the blood. Apparently you don't need that much detail, but I'm getting confused with all the terminology.

I gathered that the structures are the differences,
glycerol= hydrocarbon with the equation C3H8O3 (not really anything to do with lipids)
glycerides= a glycerol molecule + fatty acids
triglycerides= glycerol molecule + 3 fatty acid molecules
phospholipids= glycerol molecule + fatty acids + phosphate group
chylomicrons= lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol wrapped in protein
