Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is Lipids.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is Lipids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Energy storage molecules are those molecules which store energy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Some molecules like glycogen (carbohydrate) and triglycerides (lipids) are synthesized by the cells and they are stored for the later release of energy. So, the correct answer is “both lipids and carbohydrates".
Detailed explanation-4: -The fundamental building blocks of all cell membranes are phospholipids, which are amphipathic molecules, consisting of two hydrophobic fatty acid chains linked to a phosphate-containing hydrophilic head group (see Figure 2.7).
