FATTY ACIDS APEX
fatty acids
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
Glycerol have hydrogen bonds,but this intermolecular forces are slightly weaker than in water
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of a lipid. It is a three carbon alcohol that forms the backbone of most lipid molecules in the body.
FATTY ACIDS APEX
A fat molecule forms when glycerol joins with three fatty acids as three water molecule are removed during dehydration reaction.

Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
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.
