1 glycerol and 1-3 fatty acids (assuming that you mean mono/di/tri-glycerides with lipids like most people do)
Explanation:
A lipid is made up of three fatty acids, which are connected to a glycerol molecule. These three fatty acids can be ony fatty acids, in (usually) whatever combination
If you were referring to lipids in general, it means biological molecules with apolar characteristics. This group contains molecules like fat soluble vitamins and sterols (including cholesterol).
