Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Among them, lipids are the main energy storing molecule in the body. Lipids are mainly composed of hydrocarbons in their most reduced form.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adenosine 5’-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
