What 2 nutrients store energy?

Two nutrients that store energy in the body are carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates are stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver. Fats are stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides, which can be broken down for energy as needed.


Are lipids that store energy and are typically composed of multiple building blocks containing three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule?

Yes, lipids that store energy and are composed of multiple building blocks containing three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule are called triglycerides. Triglycerides are the main form of fat storage in the body and serve as a source of energy.


What kind of energy source do lipids provide?

Lipids primarily provide long-term energy storage in the form of fats. When broken down through metabolism, lipids release a high amount of energy, making them an efficient source of fuel for the body.


What is an organic compound called that is used to store energy?

All living organisms need energy to survive. This energy comes from the foods that they eat. However, in order to meet the demands of energy required throughout the day the body of the organism must store its energy for use later on. Lipids and carbohydrates are the compounds used in these organisms to store energy.


Do fats and oil store energy?

Yes, fats and oils are concentrated sources of energy because they are high in calories. When consumed, they can be stored in the body as adipose tissue and later broken down to release energy for various bodily functions.
