Why do you need to conserve fuels?
Oils are finite resources (technically they aren't but it takes thousands and thousands of years to produce a rather small amount) that humanity will soon not be able to use because the amount of oils are being depleted extremely fast. We must conserve fuels for energy until renewable energy becomes big enough to replace oils in which we won't need them as much.

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 do amyloplasts store in potato cells?
Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.
What is carbohydrates role in an animal cell?

What are a lipids job?
They have 7 main jobs. They are used to compose the membrane in cells. They are used as hormones to regulate body function. They can be used as protection (such as wax [which protects the ear]). Their main job is energy storage. They are capable of storing a large amount of energy in the form of triacylglycerols (which is bascially a fancy word for fats and oils). They also insulate our bodies and cushsion our organs.
