Cells use carbohydrates and lipids as sources of energy. Lipids are also essential to the structure of cell membranes in the form of phospholipids and cholesterol. Cholesterol is also the precursor for vitamin D and steroid hormones. In plant cells, the polysaccharide cellulose forms the cell wall, and in arthropods, the polysaccharide chitin makes up their exoskeletons.
