What are two nutrients store energy?
Carbohydrates and Lipids!
Why living things store energy in lipids instead of in carbohydrates?
Because your mom.
Why do living things store energy in lipids instead of carbohydrates?
Because your mom.
Are lipids a huge source of energy?
Yes, lipids are a concentrated source of energy, providing more than twice the amount of energy per gram compared to carbohydrates and proteins. When broken down, lipids release large amounts of ATP, which is the primary energy currency of cells.
Are important energy-storing molecules in living organisms that store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates?
Lipids
What three things that store energy in chemicals?
ATP molecules, carbohydrates (such as glucose), and lipids (such as fats) store energy in chemical bonds.
Which are typically used for long term energy storage within a cell?
Lipids (in the form of triglycerides) and carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) are typically used for long-term energy storage within a cell. Lipids store more energy per gram compared to carbohydrates.
Carbohydratyes store more energy in bonds between its atoms than lipids?
No. Long chains of hydrocarbons, basically what lipids are, store much more energy in the bonds than carbohydrates do.
What kind of biomolecule can store more energy than the others?
Lipids, specifically triglycerides, can store more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins. This is because lipids have a higher energy density due to their higher number of carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Why might mammals store lipids rather than carbohydrates?
Lipids (fats) are heavier, more calorie dense and are not water soluble...which makes them a better candidate for storage in an animal system...fat is also a great insulator that helps maintain body temperature. Fat is also a better, more flexible for animals which need to move. Plants convert and store carbohydrates in the form of starch and cellulose. Cellulose is structural, not generally flexible...
Why do lipids store more energy than carbohydrates?
I don't really know what you're asking, but I'll do my best. The body stores both lipids and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are more readily metabolized, but lipids are far more energy-dense- they can store far more energy per gram.
Which macromolecule contains the most energy?
Lipids store more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins.
