Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule is a main source of long term energy?
A
Nucleic Acid
B
Protein
C
Lipid
D
Carbohydrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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).

Detailed explanation-4: -(d) Triglycerides are the primary form of fat storage in adipose tissues or fat cells. This storage form of the lipid is utilized to produce energy as it is an efficient long-term energy storage molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fats and oils are part of a class of biomolecules called lipids, which are loosely defined as biomolecules that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like hexane or chloroform.
