Answer

Phosphatidate is an intermediate in the synthesis of triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids. This is simply because phosphatidate is the primary intermediate in lipid metabolism (which occurs in the synthesis of triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids). More specifically, this intermediate is acylated to triacylglycerol through a fatty acid chain, and results in a glycerophospholipid product.
