no, it is false
The primary molecules used for long-term energy storage are lipids, particularly in the form of triglycerides stored in adipose tissue. These molecules provide a dense source of energy, as they contain more than double the energy per gram compared to carbohydrates. In addition to lipids, carbohydrates such as glycogen can also serve as a shorter-term energy reserve, but they are more suited for quick access rather than long-term storage.
Cells use lipid molecules for energy storage as well as insulation and structuring. These molecules are mostly known in the vernacular as fats although they do encompass more than just traditional fat molecules.
No, they are simple storage molecules.
Yes, fat is a macromolecule known as a lipid. Lipids are organic molecules that are not soluble in water and primarily serve as a source of energy storage in the body.
Storage molecules, transport molecules, and movement.
They function as storage molecules as well as structural molecules. For example: storage- glycogen structural- chitin (hard exoskeleton of ants and other insects)
Sugar molecules are primarily broken down for energy through processes like glycolysis and cellular respiration. When the body has excess sugar, it can convert it into glycogen for short-term storage in the liver and muscles. If there is still excess sugar after glycogen stores are full, it can be converted into fats for long-term energy storage. Thus, sugars can be both utilized for immediate energy and stored for future use, primarily as glycogen or fat.
Storage. As opposed to RAM

There are 2 types of vascular tissue in plants: xylem & phloem. Xylem is a structurally & functionally complex tissue concerned primarily with water conduction, storage & support. Phloem tissue is also both structurally & functionally complex. Phloem is concerned with the distribution of primarily organic molecules between "sources", that is, photosynthetic or storage tissues, and "sinks", or regions of active growth & metabolism.
Oil is primarily composed of lipids, which are a type of biomolecule. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that are hydrophobic (insoluble in water) and are essential for energy storage and structural components in living organisms.
