They have 7 main jobs. They are used to compose the membrane in cells. They are used as hormones to regulate body function. They can be used as protection (such as wax [which protects the ear]). Their main job is energy storage. They are capable of storing a large amount of energy in the form of triacylglycerols (which is bascially a fancy word for fats and oils). They also insulate our bodies and cushsion our organs.
