provide insulation, protection, and stored energy
Lipids
Lipids are concentrated sources of energy and provide fuel for aerobic respiration. Lipids are a source of metabolic water. during respiration stored lipids are metabolized for energy, producing water and carbon dioxide. Stored lipids provide insulation. increased body fat levels in winter reduce heat losses to the environment.
Lipids are stored by the body as energy reserves
Lipids have several functions in organisms. A few types of lipids are wax, sterols, and fat. Wax is used by plants to help keep too much water from evaporating out of them. Bees also produce wax to build the honeycombs in their hives. Sterols are things like cholesterol and cortisol that are used in signal transmission in animals and also in the cell membrane structure. Fat is used to stored energy and for insulation.
the amount of energy is double in lipids as compared to carbohydrtes
FALSE.. they are great sources of stored energy!
This is true for e2020 users.
Their energy reserves are stored in lipids.

lipids provide stored energy for your body, are part of cells, and make hormone structures
