What form of lipids provide energy storage in plants?
Because the lipids in plants are "unsaturated" (double bonds with hydrogen ensure a smaller amount of hydrogens are bonded to the fatty acid), kinks form in the chain. These kinks make the lipids difficult to "pack" and form a solid. For this reason, lipids from plants are usually liquid at room temperature. Usually we refer to them as "oils".
Where do the carbon Atoms used to make sugar amino acids and lipids come from?
The carbon atoms used to make sugars, amino acids, and lipids primarily come from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants absorb CO2 and convert it into organic compounds using sunlight as energy. These compounds serve as the building blocks for sugars, amino acids, and lipids, which are then utilized by plants and consumed by animals in the food chain. Ultimately, this carbon is recycled through various biological processes.
What is the biological function?
Lipase is a enzyme used to cleave lipids, usually membrane lipids. Phosolipase C is a power second messenger used in intercell signaling. Lipase is a enzyme used to cleave lipids, usually membrane lipids. Phosolipase C is a power second messenger used in intercell signaling.
What macromolecule creates oils in plants?
Oils in plants are primarily created by lipids, which are a type of macromolecule. Specifically, triglycerides, a subgroup of lipids, are responsible for storing energy and forming oils. These triglycerides are synthesized from fatty acids and glycerol, and they play a crucial role in energy storage and protection in plants.
What are the statements of lipids a. lipids are used to store energy b. lipids do not dissolve in water c. lipids mke up part of the cell membrane d. all of the above?
d. All of the above
What are lipids used for in plants and animals?
to make them fat
Do animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fat?
true or false animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fats
How are lipids stored in plants and animals?
By phosolipids.

Is lipid in plant or animal?
Plants and animals do not store lipids the same way. Plants store them in the cell wall, which animal cells do not have. Plant lipids are oils, while animal lipids are more concentrated fat.
What do you call unsaturated lipids that come mostly from plants?
good
What organic compound forms colored pigments in plants?
Lipids

Are Lipids are only found in animals and humans?
no there are also found in plants
What is lipid used for?

Do all organisms use the same process to produce lipids?
No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
Where are lipids manufactured?
Lipids are manufactured in the ribosome of the cell. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also manufactures that lipids to be used in a cell.
