You mean of a fat?
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.

I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my Biology book.
one and three fatty acids
3 fatty acids!

You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
YES
The fat molecule that has the most H, or hydrogen, atoms is the saturated fat molecule. This is because this particular molecule has no double bonds in its structure.
Lipids do not form polymers.
Three, because you end up w/ three "OH" and three "H". (oxygen and hydrogen and hydrogen).
Hydrogenation is the proccess that makes unsaturated fat have characteristics of saturated fat. During the process the shape of the fat molecule changes for cis to trans form. This process increases the risk of heart disease.
