    This document discusses ester bonds and lipids. It summarizes that: 1) Ester bonds are formed from a condensation reaction between one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, providing a good source of energy in a small volume due to many C-H bonds. 2) Triglycerides are insoluble in water and made from one glycerol molecule, two fatty acid chains, and one phosphate molecule. 3) Phospholipids have a hydrophilic "head" and hydrophobic "tail" and are a component of cell membranes, forming a phospholipid bilayer.
