Answer:

Fatty acid chains

Step-by-step explanation:

A Triglyceride molecule is made up of 3 fatty acid chains and 1 glycerol molecule held together by ester bonds.

Digestion of lipids using lipases hydrolysed the ester bonds to release 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acid chains.
