Lipids consist of a glycerol molecule linked with at least one and a maximum of three fatty acids.
Lipids are molecules which contain a glycerol molecule a carbohydrate and at least one fatty acid.
Glycerol has three ##OH## groups which allow fatty acids – which have a ##COOH## group – to link to them with a condensation reaction.
A condensation reaction is a reaction between an ##OH## group and a ##COOH## group which links the two molecules together splitting off a molecule of water:
##R-COOH + HO-R -> R-COC-R + H_2O##
A glycerol molecule which looks like this:
##C-OH##
##|##
##C-OH##
##|##
##C-OH##
can link with a maximum of three fatty acids which look like this:
##HOOC-R## (##R## being a rest group)
Glycerol can also link with proteins or carbohydrates resulting in different forms of lipids.
