Cells store what in lipids to use later?

Cells store energy in the form of lipids, primarily as triglycerides, within specialized structures called lipid droplets. These lipid droplets can be broken down through a process called lipolysis to release stored energy as needed by the cell.


What Organic compound that is used to store energy and forms important parts of biological membranes?

Cell membranes are phospholipids not proteins. Proteins are not used as energy stores by living things. Energy stores are sugars and fats.


What biological molecules are used to store energy?

Biological molecules such as carbohydrates (like glucose and glycogen) and lipids (like triglycerides) are commonly used to store energy in living organisms. These molecules can be broken down through metabolic processes to release stored energy when needed.


Compare the structures and functions of the biomolecules lipids and starches?

Lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Starches are composed of monosaccharides. In lipids you find less number of oxygen than in carbohydrates. Therefore, lipids give you twice as much energy as carbohydrate. Lipids constitute the bilayer, which is not the case with starch.


What are the four types of biomolecules?

The four types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are sugars and starches used for energy, lipids are fats and oils used for energy storage and cell structure, proteins are chains of amino acids that have various functions in the body, and nucleic acids are DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information.
