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.
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
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.
Lipids.
Lipids are used for energy storage, cushions vital organs, and insulates the organism
Energy storage, Insulation, and water proofing.
lipids
triacylglycerols
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)
Lipids are fat soluble compounds found in plants and animals. The body uses lipids for energy storage, absorbing fat-soluble vitamins and chemical messaging.
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.
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
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
