Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which biomolecule is important for insulation? Lipids are important for insulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates: a molecule that is used by many plants and animals to store energy for a short time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose and ATP. Two of the most important energy-carrying molecules are glucose and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-5: -Most of the energy required by the human body is provided by carbohydrates and lipids. As discussed in the Carbohydrates chapter, glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. While glycogen provides a ready source of energy, lipids primarily function as an energy reserve.
