You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
Three fatty acid molecules can combine with one glycerol molecule in a lipid synthesis reaction to form a triacylglycerol molecule. Each of the three hydroxyl groups of glycerol can form an ester bond with a fatty acid molecule.
A triglyceride will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed through the process of lipolysis. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Upon hydrolysis, one fatty acid is released along with glycerol.
FATTY ACIDS APEX
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
In the synthesis of 7 triglycerides, 6 water molecules are removed in total. Each triglyceride molecule is formed from one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules, and in the process, ester bonds are formed between each glycerol and fatty acid molecule, releasing a water molecule. Therefore, for 7 triglycerides, you would have 7 × 3 = 21 fatty acid molecules and 7 × 1 = 7 glycerol molecules, resulting in the removal of 7 × 6 = 42 water molecules during ester bond formation.
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.

Three water molecules are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with three fatty acid molecules in a condensation reaction. Each fatty acid molecule contributes a water molecule when it reacts with the glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride.
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.
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.

The components needed to synthesize a triglyceride are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol provides the backbone structure, while the fatty acids (saturated or unsaturated) attach to the glycerol molecules via ester linkages to form the triglyceride molecule.
When one glycerol molecule covalently binds via dehydration synthesis with three fatty acid molecules, the resulting macromolecule is called a triglyceride. This molecule serves as a type of fat storage in organisms and can be broken down for energy when needed.
1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acid molecules.
