They make up lipids. They join with glycerol to do so
Fatty acids are composed of a hydrophilic carboxylic acid head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, while basic units in other macromolecules (such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in DNA/RNA, and monosaccharides in carbohydrates) have different functional groups and structures specific to their roles in each macromolecule. The differences in functional groups and structure give these basic units unique properties and functions within their respective macromolecules.
The subunit of carbohydrates is glucose.The subunit of nucleic acids is a nucleotide. The sub unit for protein is an amino acid. Lipid sub units are fatty acids and gylcerol.
Lipids. Fats. An ester formed from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules that could be of varying types.
Monosaccharide

Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
Fatty acid oxidation is the process in which fatty acids are broken down by tissues to produce energy. Fatty acids are the residue left from fats being broken down.
A fatty acid tail attached to a glycerol head.
Lipids make up fats.Lipids made up of glycerol and fatty acids.
Triglycerides have one glycerol head and three fatty acid tails.
