Peptide bond is present in proteins, not in lipids or nucleic acids.

Explanation:

Peptide bond is formed between amino group ( $NH2$ ) and carboxyl group ( $COOH$ ) of adjoining amino acids.

A protein molecule is a made up of large number of amino acids, arranged in a chain, bound by peptide bonds. Each amino acid has an amino group ( $NH2$ ) and a carboxyl group ( $COOH$ ) . $NH2$ group of one amino acid forms a peptide bond ( $NH-CO$ )with $COOH$ group of next amino acid with the removal of $H2O$ .
