Which of these molecule groups is involved in long-term energy storage?
Carbohydrates :p
What compound can be made from glucose and serves as long term energy storage?
Carbs and fats can be used as long term storage and are sometimes converted from glucose.
What Category of carbon compounds stores energy for a long time?
Lipids in the form of fat provides long term energy storage.
What type of organic compound provides the best energy storage?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar) and as intermediate-term energy storage (starch for plants and glycogen for animals). Fats and oils function in long-term energy storage. Fats yield 9.3 Kcal/gm, while carbohydrates yield 3.79 Kcal/gm. Fats thus store six times as much energy as glycogen.
What is the job of a Carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are primarily used as an energy source for the body. They also aid with short term energy storage.
What carbohydrate provides longer term energy storage?
Complex Carbohydrates
Which macromolecules can be used for long term energy storage in animals?
Glycogen (made up the macromolecule carbohydrates)
Are proteins used for long term storage in cells?
No. ATP is the shortest term energy storage, carbohydrates are short to medium term storage and fats are longest terms storage. Proteins are used almost exclusively for building structural elements or cell functionality.
Carbohydrates and lipids are used to store energy in living organisms?
Yes, both types of macromolecules are used for energy storage. The most important distinction is that carbohydrates are used for short-term storage while lipids are used for long-term storage in animals. Carbs are usually the sole storage in plants.
What organic compound stores and releases short term energy?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar).
What is the main storage molecule in animals?
Animals have molecules that can store energy for short term and long term periods of time. Animals use carbohydrates as short term storage and Lipids as long term storage.
Does glycerol provide long-term energy storage for animals?
Fat is the long term energy storage medium for most animals. Glycogen is the short term storage medium. Glycerol is the backbone of triglycerides.
