A
large
B
small
C
tiny
D
gigantic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three types of energy storage molecules: lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Organisms use two main types of energy storage. Energy-rich molecules, such as glycogen and triglycerides, store energy in the form of co-chemical bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fats (lipids) Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -An energy storing molecule is one which has a storehouse of energy within its chemical bonds. This means that when this molecule undergoes a chemical reaction it will release a large amount of energy. There are many energy-storing molecules in matter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose and ATP. Two of the most important energy-carrying molecules are glucose and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are the most common long-term energy storage molecules in cells.
