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 would happen if lipids were to suddenly disappear from earth and why?

If lipids were to suddenly disappear from Earth, it would have catastrophic effects on all living organisms. Lipids are essential for forming cell membranes, storing energy, and serving as signaling molecules; their absence would disrupt cellular integrity and function. Additionally, many organisms rely on lipids for insulation and protection, leading to severe physiological consequences. The collapse of food chains and ecosystems would likely follow, as both plants and animals depend on lipids for survival and reproduction.


Is food in plants is the same as starch?

Yes, Because plants store food as starch and animals store fats/lipids as glycogen and protein is stored as glycogen too(in animals)

What are Plants and animals are comprised mainly?

Plants and animals are primarily composed of organic molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. These molecules are built from elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. In addition to these organic compounds, plants contain chlorophyll and cell walls made of cellulose, while animals have specialized cells and tissues that enable diverse functions and mobility. Overall, the unique combinations of these components define the structure and function of both plants and animals.


What is an example of a organism having lipids in its body?

An example of an organism containing lipids in its body is the common human being. Humans store energy in the form of triglycerides, a type of lipid, within adipose (fat) tissue. Additionally, lipids are essential components of cell membranes, contributing to their structure and function. Other organisms, such as plants and animals, also contain various types of lipids for energy storage and cellular processes.
