Lipids can be things like fats produced by animals, and are mostly composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, they are hydrophobic (doesn't mix well with water) and cannot be easily broken down. Starches on the other hand are formed by plants as a way to store the large amounts of glucose produced during photosynthesis and mix pretty well with water, making then hydrophollic.They can be broken down into individual glucose molecules.

No, sugar and starches are not lipids. Lipids are a class of organic compounds that includes fats, oils, and cholesterol, while sugar and starches belong to the carbohydrate group. Lipids are hydrophobic molecules that are important for energy storage and cell membrane structure, while sugars and starches are primarily used for energy production in the body.

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.

Plant organelles that store starches or lipids or that contain lipids?

Ah, what a delightful question! Organelles that store starches are called amyloplasts, while those that store lipids are known as oleosomes or lipid droplets. These organelles play important roles in storing energy for the plant and helping maintain its structure and function. Just like how we all have different roles to play in this beautiful world, each organelle has its own special job to do within the plant cell.
