FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The organic molecules that store the most energy are called fats or triglycerides. The animal body uses carbohydrates (glycogen) for medium-term energy storage and fats or triglycerides (lipids) for long-term energy storage.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Two of the most important energy-carrying molecules are glucose and adenosine triphosphate, commonly referred to as ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Organisms use lipids to store energy. There are two types of fatty acids: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Animals use saturated fatty acids to store energy. Plants use unsaturated fatty acids to store energy.
