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...
