Why do animals use lipids instead of carbohydrates as energy storing molecules?
As they store a lot more energy, weight for weight.
Why do animals use lipids instead of carbohydrates as energy-storing molecules?
Lipids have around twice the energy density of carbohydrates, so they are a more efficient means of storage (i.e. only half the mass is needed to store an equivalent amount of energy).
Cells use what to get energy only when carbohydrates are not available.?
Cells use lipids when carbohydrates are not available.
What do cells to get energy when carbohydrates are not available?
Cells use Lipids when Carbohydrates are'nt available.
What do cells use to get energy only when carbohydrates are not available.?
Lipids
What can an organism use for energy after carbohydrates?
when an organism uses most of it's carbohydrates, it can get energy from these lipids
Does DNA code for the enzymes necessary for the production of lipids and carbohydrates?
No. DNA codes for proteins, but not the lipids and carbohydrates and instruction for their use. All of this originates from diet and from thin air.
What lipid do animals use?
Their energy reserves are stored in lipids.
What can you use in cookies to reduce Carbohydrates?
Splenda instead of sugar.
What sources of energy do your Cells use?
