Detailed explanation-1: -The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, as lipids may be broken down to yield large amounts of energy. Lipids also form the structural components of cell membranes, and form various messengers and signaling molecules within the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids act as insulator under the skin and prevents heat from escaping out of the body. It makes sure the heat in our body does not escape and keeps us warm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids are also used to insulate and protect your body. You have a layer of fat just below your skin that helps to keep your internal body temperature regular despite the external temperature. Your vital organs, such as the kidneys, have a layer of fat around them that acts like bubble wrap to protect them from injury.
