The answer is the second one: Glycerol.

Explanation for each option:

1. Phosphate heads: These are typically part of phospholipids, not triglycerides, and do not directly enter the glycolysis pathway.

2. Glycerol: This is the correct answer. Glycerol, which is part of triglycerides, can be converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, an intermediate in glycolysis, allowing it to enter the glycolysis pathway.

3. Triglycerides: These are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids. The entire triglyceride molecule does not enter glycolysis; only the glycerol component does.

4. Fatty acids: These undergo beta-oxidation to form acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle, not glycolysis.

In summary, glycerol is the part of a lipid that can enter the glycolysis pathway.
