Answer: Heyo Kenji Here! Here's your answer- In a fat molecule, the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through the oxygen atom. During the ester bond formation, three molecules are released. Since fats consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol, they are also called triacylglycerols or triglycerides.
Explanation: Hope this helps!
Have a nice day!
