Answer:

Three molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

Since fats consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol, they are also called triacyclglycerols or triglycerides. Triacyclglycerols: Triacylglycerol is formed by the joining of three fatty acids to a glycerol backbone in a dehydration reaction. Three molecules of water are released in the process.
