What else can I help you with?
What molecules can produce more energy per gram than sugars and are used for storing in animals?
lipids
Are Lipids are only found in animals and humans?
no there are also found in plants
Which is a least likely function of lipids in plants and animals?
to prevent large loss of water
What type of biomolecule is the primary energy storage molecule in animals?
Sugar (Glucose) and also Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
What compound is most common in foods that come from animals?
most common is protiens... but you get fats and lipids as well.
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 do animals store lipids?
As fats
How are lipids stored in plants and animals?
By phosolipids.
Which macromolecules is used for insulation in animals?
Lipids
What essential function did lipids play in the origin of life?
Lipids are believed to have played a crucial role in the origin of life by forming the first cell membranes, creating a boundary between the internal and external environment. This separation allowed for the concentration of molecules necessary for cellular processes and the protection of delicate cellular components. Lipids also contributed to the development of early forms of energy storage and signaling within primitive cells.
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 are lipids used for in plants and animals?
to make them fat
What molecules can produce more energy per gram than sugars and are used for storing in animals?
lipids
What is the componant of many lipids?
All lipids are composed of amino acids which make up polypeptide chains. Animals must have at least a small amount of lipids to survive.
What lipid do animals use?
Their energy reserves are stored in lipids.
Why do animals use lipids instead of carbohydrates?
Three ways that lipids are used: 1) Oils help waterfowl stay afloat by repelling water, 2) certain animals use fats in order to hibernate, and 3) animals use cholesterol for making sex hormones.
What type of organic molecules are used for storing energy in animals?
Lipids
