lipids contain much more energy then carbohydrates. One gram of lipids create an average of 423 ATP or 0.47 mol ATP/gram.
Glucose, with a molecular weight of 180.16, generates only 36 ATP, or 0.20 mol ATP/gram

What are two nutrients store energy?
Carbohydrates and Lipids!
Which compounds store energy and make up most of the cell membrane lipids proteins carbohydrates?
Lipids.
Why do living things store energy in lipids instead of carbohydrates?
Because your mom.
Why living things store energy in lipids instead of in carbohydrates?
Because your mom.
Are important energy-storing molecules in living organisms that store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates?
Lipids
Which macromolecule stores energy?
Mainly in living organism Lipids and carbohydrates are used to store energy.They have chemical bonds which internally store energy and when they are broken down energy is released.
Carbohydratyes store more energy in bonds between its atoms than lipids?
No. Long chains of hydrocarbons, basically what lipids are, store much more energy in the bonds than carbohydrates do.
How do lipids and carbohydrates differ in ATP production?
Lipids store the most energy. Fats store about 80% of the energy in your body, and when they are broken down they give the most energy. Carbohydrates make about 32 molecules of ATP, and dare used more commonly to make the ATP.
Which macromolecule contains the most energy?
Lipids store more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins.
What class of organic molecule is used as an immediate energy source for most organisms?
They are the lipids. Lipids can store much energy
How much energy do lipids release?
Lipids, as compared with carbohydrates, are much more reduced (i.e., there are many more C-H bonds and far fewer C-OH or C=O bonds).Because of this greater degree of reduction, lipids store more energy per gram than do carbohydrates (nine vs. four, respectively).
Why do lipids store more energy than carbohydrates?
I don't really know what you're asking, but I'll do my best. The body stores both lipids and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are more readily metabolized, but lipids are far more energy-dense- they can store far more energy per gram.
