The correct answer for the given question above would be option D. A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol and this glycerol is bonded to the three long chains of fatty acids. The fatty acid molecule is a long chain of covalently bonded carbon atoms with non polar bonds to hydrogen atoms all along the carbon chain with a carboxyl group attached to one end.
