You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
In a (most common) triglyceride fat molecule three fatty acid molecules are 'estery' bonded to one glycerol (1,2,3-propane-tri-ol).

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.

amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
3 fatty acids!
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat 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.
1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acid molecules.
Triglycerides are molecules made from three molecules, usually fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. They are more often known as lipids, or fats. A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long alkyl group.
Yes. It is composed of a molecule of glycerol chemically combined with two fatty acid molecules and a phosphate group.
Fatty acids are molecules composed of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid group ( - COOH) at one end. The smallest molecule that could be called a fatty acid is acetic acid (CH3COOH which is the acid in vinegar) in which the hydrocarbon chain is only on carbon long (a methyl group - CH3). Fats are molecules composed of one to three (usually three) fatty acids bound by their carboxylic acid group to a glycerine molecule (see image above).
