It depends on why you mean by "fat" molecules. Lipids in general are usually composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but they can contain other elements such as phosphorous or nitrogen.

What atoms are in fat molecules?
Fats are composed of three molecules:OxygenHydrogenCarbon
Large fat molecules?
Fats are large non polar, insoluble molecules composed of elements - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
What is Triacylglycerol composed of?
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
When the three chains of fatty acid molecules line up neatly side by side the fat is said to be unsaturated?
True or False?
Is it true that in adipose tissue fat molecules form when fatty acid molecules and glycerol join by hydrolysis?
no . three fatty acid molecules and glycerol join by the condensation ( release of 3 water molecules) reactions to produce tri acyl glycerol (fat) as far as hydrolysis is concerned its the process in which water molecule is used up to break down the compound. Mayur parmar rajkot ,(gujarat)

Large fat molecules?

What are fat composed?
Fats are composed of the same three elements as carbohydrates - carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
How many water molecules will be removed to form a fat composed of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule?
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
What is Triacylglycerol composed of?
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
Why can molecules that are fat-soluble permeate across a cell membrane?
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer. Cellular fluid (cytosol) and the cell's organelles are contained by the cell's membrane, which is composed of a lipid bilayer. Lipids are a type of fat. Because a cell's membrane is composed of fat, only fat-soluble molecules are able to dissolve through the membrane into the cytosol.
What elements are used to make a fat molecule?
The elements in a fat molecule is three fatty acid molecules wrapped around glycerol. The hydrocarbon chain is hydrophobic and will not dissolve in water.
A fat molecule is composed of and three fatty acids?
GLYCEROL
What is the cell structurre that is made up of double layer of fat molecules?
The plasma membrane is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids.
What two types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
What is lipidous?
lipids are broadly defined as any fat- soluble, naturally-occurring molecules, such as fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins
