Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrate in the form of glucose is the main source of energy for most metabolic processes in the body. Lipids provide essential fatty acids for brain development and are an important source of energy. Together carbohydrates and lipids provide the non-nitrogen energy in parenteral nutrition (PN).
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Carbohydrates and lipids are alike in the fact that they are both types of organic molecules found in living organisms. This means that they consist of many carbon atoms with oxygen and hydrogen bonded to them. Both carbohydrates and lipids are energy sources for living things.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because lipids have high proportion of C-H bonds which store the chemical potential energy in a much effective way. Carbs on the other hand, have high ratio of C-O bonds because of glycosidic linkages so they do not store as much energy in their bonds.
Detailed explanation-4: -Similarities:-Complex carbohydrates, for example polysaccharides, and lipids both contain alot of chemical energy and can be used for energy storage.-Complex carbohydrates and lipids are both insoluble in water, they are not easily transported.
Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are all composed of carbon and hydrogen. In fact, they fall in the category of organic chemistry. All three of them are polymers that are formed when their monomers link together via dehydration synthesis. The polymers break into the monomers through hydrolysis.
