Ester bonds. For example, "A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids."
-wikipedia on triglyceride
An acid (fatty acid) and an alcohol (glycerol) always form an ester bond.

Ester.
A type of lipid known as a triglyceride.
Ester bond.
Ester bond
triglyceride
This alcohol is glycerol. They form lipids when fatty acids attach to them.
dehydration reaction
The type of chemical bonds for lipids are nonpolar C-H bonds. The actual bonds that attach the fatty acids to the glycerol are refered to as ester linkages
Fatty acids in their cis form
glycerol and carboxylic acid combines to form a lipids.
No. Cellulose is a polymer of a sugar (glucose). Fatty acids covalently bonded with glycerol (by dehydration) to form esters (glycerides) are lipids.
triglyceride
Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).
gycerol bound to 3 fatty acid is triglyceride..gylcerol a 3 carbon skeleton with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon, Fatty acid= a caboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton the function triglyceride is to store energy in form of fatty acids, most efficient and compact way of storing energy
You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
This alcohol is glycerol. They form lipids when fatty acids attach to them.
Lipid
what is the process called that adds tree glycerol to 3 fatty acids? Glycerol is a sugar alcohol containing three hydrophillic hydroxyl groups. When these three OH groups are esterified with three fatty acids, the product is a triglyceride.
