Alcohol
Fats, oils, wax and cholesterol. What are these examples of?
Lipids
The most common lipids consist of fatty acids linked to a glycerol molecule by a process known as ___

During condensation reaction the water (H2o) molecule is removed, the fatty acid joins to the glycerol atom by an___
Ester bond
When fatty acids link to a glycerol a structure called ___ is formed
Glyceride
