Primarily for the construction of the Cell Membrane; secondarily for the construction of specialized Cell membranes, and thirdly for Metabolism.
By phosolipids.
true or false animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fats
to make them fat
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.
no there are also found in plants
to prevent large loss of water
Their energy reserves are stored in lipids.
Yes, Because plants store food as starch and animals store fats/lipids as glycogen and protein is stored as glycogen too(in animals)
Three ways that lipids are used: 1) Oils help waterfowl stay afloat by repelling water, 2) certain animals use fats in order to hibernate, and 3) animals use cholesterol for making sex hormones.
No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
plants use it for food while animals mainly use it for warmth
Plants use the decaying remains of animals for nutrients. Animals use plants for nutrients and air. Plants also need air in order to survive. Air uses plants to be produced. -CO
