BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides are a form of long-term energy storage molecules. They are made of glycerol and three fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fats (lipids) Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body. Fats are very compact and light weight, so they are an efficient way to store excess energy. A fat is made up of a glycerol, which is attached to 1 to 3 fatty acid chains.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are at least two classes of fat cells-white and brown. White fat is specialized to store energy in the form of triglycerides, an especially efficient method because this class of molecules is highly energetic and stored anhydrously.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids. Triglycerides (fats) are a form of long-term energy storage in animals. Triglycerides store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates. Triglycerides are made of glycerol and three fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -They are a concentrated energy source, providing more energy per gram than the carbohydrates. Unlike the carbohydrates, the body is able to store lipids in the body, and they are therefore an important long term source of energy.
