Answer:

glycosidic bond

In a fat molecule, the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through the oxygen atom. During the ester bond formation, three molecules are released. Since fats consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol, they are also called triacylglycerols or triglycerides

Answer:

Ester bond

Explanation:

  • The three hydroxyl groups of a glycerol molecule join with the carboxyl groups of the fatty acid molecules to form a fat or triglyceride molecule.
  • The chemical linkage between the glycerol and fatty acids is caled the ester bond.
  • It results from the elimination of three molecules of water (condensation or dehydration).
