Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -Which biomolecule is important for insulation? Lipids are important for insulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids provide long-term energy storage, form cell membranes (phospholipids). The provide insulation, and cushioning of internal organs, and partake in the messaging process in the body (hormones).

Detailed explanation-5: -Because of these differences, lipids are used in long-term energy storage (adipose, or fat, tissue), and carbohydrates are used in short-term energy storage (glycogen).
