Yes. Lipids are found in the protective coating of the cell membrane of cells. They are also used to store chemical energy, as we synthesize fat polymers from fatty acids / triglycerides.

Are used for long term energy storage insulation and protective?
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
What organic compound is considered to be a long storage of energy?
Lipids, more generally thought of as fat molecules, are used by cells to store energy. They are also an important structure molecule and can be used for signaling.
What is used for long term energy storage?
Lipids.
Cells store what in lipids to use later?
Lipids are used for energy storage, cushions vital organs, and insulates the organism
What the function of lipids in the living things?
Energy storage, Insulation, and water proofing.
Which type of macromolecule contains high energy bonds and is used for long term energy storage?
lipids
What lipids is used for energy storage-glycolipids glycerophospholipids csphingolipids triacylglycerols spingophospholipids?
triacylglycerols
What is secondary source of energy for your body?
The second source of energy for your body, after Carbohydrates (straches, sugars), are the Lipids (fats: oil, butter).Lipids are used for long term energy storage (days to years)
What does your body use lipids for?
Lipids are fat soluble compounds found in plants and animals. The body uses lipids for energy storage, absorbing fat-soluble vitamins and chemical messaging.
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 is used for insulation and storage of energy in the body?
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
What is the structure of the four Macromolecules?
a. Carbohydrates - energy storage and structural support b. Lipids - energy storage and components of membranes c. Proteins - many functions including enzymes, defense, transport, structure, contraction d. Nucleic acids - information storage, gene expression
