Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is NOT a job of a lipid?
A
long term energy storage
B
water resistant
C
insulation
D
short term energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because of these differences, lipids are used in long-term energy storage (adipose, or fat, tissue), and carbohydrates are used in short-term energy storage (glycogen).

Detailed explanation-2: -The function of lipids includes storing energy and acting as structural components of the cell membrane. Glycerol has a polar hydroxyl group for every carbon atom and thus it is soluble in water so it is not a lipid it is simple alcohol. Maltose is a carbohydrate also known as sugar. Hence option C is correct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cholesterol is the other major lipid transported in lipoproteins. It is not used for energy; it is the precursor of steroid hormones and bile acids and is a structural component of cellular membranes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a variety of functions in your body. They’re part of your cell membranes and help control what goes in and out of your cells. They help with moving and storing energy, absorbing vitamins and making hormones.
