Answer:

The correct answer will be- fatty acid chains and glycerol molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipids are the biomolecules also known as triglycerides. The lipids get hydrolyzed to provide energy to the body through the process of lipolysis which takes place in the cytoplasm.

The triglycerides on breakdown form the two components, fatty acids and glycerol in which fatty acid undergo β-oxidation and gets converted to acetyl CoA whereas the glycerol directly enters in the glycolysis pathway as DHAP. The lipolysis provides high energy to the body.

Thus, fatty acid chains and glycerol molecule is the correct answer.
