the answer is Glycerol + two fatty acids + phosphate group

Fun fact: phospholipod molecules have a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic, while the tail is hydrophobic. They also can form lipid bilayers which can act as a membrane. This is partly why phospholipids make up most of all cell membranes
