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
What lipid do animals use?
Their energy reserves are stored in lipids.
Do lipids provide a quick source of energy?
Lipids do not provide a quick source of energy compared to carbohydrates. Lipids are more efficiently stored in the body for long-term energy use, while carbohydrates are the body's primary source of quick energy due to their rapid breakdown into glucose.
What can you use in cookies to reduce Carbohydrates?
Splenda instead of sugar.
Does DNA code for the enzymes necessary for the production of lipids and carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA contains the instructions to produce enzymes involved in the synthesis of lipids and carbohydrates. The genes in DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into proteins, including the enzymes needed for lipid and carbohydrate production.
Similarities and differences between carbohydrates and lipids?
Lipids and carbs are both sources of energy. They both have Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. The differences between them include the amount of atoms, (Carbs have a 2:1 ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen, Lipids do not) the building blocks (Carbs are built from monosaccharides, Lipids are built from fatty acids and glycerol) And lastly, Carbs are our first source of energy, Lipids are secondary.
Why do muscle cells use triglycerides for energy instead of carbohydrates?
Muscle cells use triglycerides for energy instead of carbohydrates because triglycerides make energy for storage, insulation, and organ protection
