Triglycerides, aka "fats," are used to store or reserve energy. Supposedly, by completely oxidizing these you can get more energy than from carbohydrates and proteins. The other types of lipids, including phospholipids (used for making cell membranes), fatty acids, vitamins, etc, have other functions.

What chemical form do potatoes store their energy?
They keep it as a starch.
Does glucose store chemical energy?
yes it does Glucose stores chemical energy in a concentrated, stable form.
What chemical energy form from electron flow?
Well, Chemical energy is not formed by the flow of electron. The flow of electrons is responsible for the generation of electricity. It is not possible to store electrical energy in its original form. So this electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in case of a battery (Electrical energy is stored in the chemicals of a battery thus converting into chemical energy.) Therefore, Electron flow generates only electricity and no chemical energy is formed.
A device that uses chemicals to generate and store electricity?
Energy storage is accomplished by devices or physical media that store energy to perform useful operation at a later time. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator.All forms of energy are either potential energy (e.g. Chemical, gravitational, electrical energy, etc.) or kinetic energy (e.g. thermal energy). A wind-up clock stores potential energy (in this case mechanical, in the spring tension), abattery stores readily convertible chemical energy to operate a mobile phone, and a hydroelectric dam stores energy in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy. Ice storage tanks store ice (thermal energy) at night to meet peak demand for cooling. Fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline store ancient energy derived from sunlight by organisms that later died, became buried and over time were then converted into these fuels. Even food (which is made by the same process as fossil fuels) is a form of energy stored in chemical form.
What role do lipids play in the body?
The most important role that lipids play in the body is to store energy. Even carbohydrates when they aren't used to store themselves in form of lipids. But, they also function to regulate our body temperature since fats aren't good at transmitting heat, there's a layer of fat under our skin called adipose tissue.
What do plant cells use to store excess energy?
Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
Can guinea pigs store food in body?
No, they are not like hamsters. They do not have a pouch in their cheek. They store reserve energy in the form of fat.
What is internal energy reserve in humans?
internal energy reserve io humans in the form of carbohydrates is 'glycogen'.
Fat is used for energy in the form of what?
Reserve food
Cells store energy in the form of what?
Cells store energy in the form of carbohydrates.
What is it called when Animals Store their excess energy in this form they and can use this form of energy storing form later on if they dont have enough energy?
Animals Store their excess energy in the form of fat's.
Which form of energy is difficult to store?
tidal energy solar energy
In what form does coal store energy from the sun?
Coal stores energy from the sun in the form of chemical energy
The carbohydrate that plants use to store energy is called?
Plants store energy in the form of Glucose
Is thermal is not a form of energy?
Thermal energy is the energy store within the bonds of atoms. It is heat.
When animal cells run out of carbohydrates they can use a reserve source of energy in the form of?
they can use energy from gasses which makes it carbohydrates
What form does cells store their energy?
Plant Cells store energy in the complex carbohydrates such as starch, disaccharides, and lipids.Animal Cells store energy in the Polysaccharide known as Glycogen.Cells store energy when a third phosphate group becomes bonded to an ADP molecule. ATP molecules are a cell's basic energy source.
