Ester bond

Explanation:

Lipids are made up of:

  • Glycerol
  • Fatty acids

The glycerol molecule having three #OH^-# groups can link with minimum one fatty acid (form monoglyceride) and maximum three fatty acids (form triglyceride).

The basic unit of lipids is a triglyceride. A triglyceride is formed when #1# glycerol molecule links with #3# fatty acid molecules by means of ester bond(covalent bond), in a condensation reaction.
