What form of lipids provide energy storage in plants?
Because the lipids in plants are "unsaturated" (double bonds with hydrogen ensure a smaller amount of hydrogens are bonded to the fatty acid), kinks form in the chain. These kinks make the lipids difficult to "pack" and form a solid. For this reason, lipids from plants are usually liquid at room temperature. Usually we refer to them as "oils".
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.
15 Which macromolecules are used to store energy in living organisms?
Carbohydrates, such as starch in plants and glycogen in animals, are made of sugars like glucose and are the most direct form of energy. Lipids or fats are sort of long term storage and are only used for energy when carbohydrate reserves are depleted.
What is the biological function?
Lipase is a enzyme used to cleave lipids, usually membrane lipids. Phosolipase C is a power second messenger used in intercell signaling. Lipase is a enzyme used to cleave lipids, usually membrane lipids. Phosolipase C is a power second messenger used in intercell signaling.
Sudan III is used to detect the presence of what macromolecules?
Sudan III is used to detect the presence of lipids.
What are lipids used for in plants and animals?
to make them fat
Do animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fat?
true or false animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fats
How are lipids stored in plants and animals?
By phosolipids.

Is lipid in plant or animal?
Plants and animals do not store lipids the same way. Plants store them in the cell wall, which animal cells do not have. Plant lipids are oils, while animal lipids are more concentrated fat.
What do you call unsaturated lipids that come mostly from plants?
good
What organic compound forms colored pigments in plants?
Lipids

Are Lipids are only found in animals and humans?
no there are also found in plants
What is lipid used for?
what are lipids used for
Where are lipids manufactured?
Lipids are manufactured in the ribosome of the cell. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also manufactures that lipids to be used in a cell.
