Fats are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three - carbon alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, and fatty acids are long - chain carboxylic acids. Amino alcohols are components of some complex lipids like phospholipids but not of simple fats. Phosphate groups are also part of phospholipids (a type of complex lipid) rather than simple fats.
