Nominally an alcohol and an acid, though in actual practice they're often made with acid chlorides instead of acids per se (the advantage of using an acyl chloride is that that reaction is not reversible, thus it runs to completion instead of coming to equlibrium).

How many ester bonds are found in a triglyceride?
There are three ester bonds in a triglyceride molecule. These ester bonds form when three fatty acid molecules each react with a glycerol molecule, resulting in the formation of the triglyceride.
