Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is Lipids.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is Lipids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids are a class of macromolecules that are nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature. Major types include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Fats are a stored form of energy and are also known as triacylglycerols or triglycerides.
Detailed explanation-4: -Energy storage molecules are those molecules which store energy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Some molecules like glycogen (carbohydrate) and triglycerides (lipids) are synthesized by the cells and they are stored for the later release of energy. So, the correct answer is “both lipids and carbohydrates".
Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, it has been clear from the above discussion that Lipids are the macromolecules that function as energy storage compounds, components of cell membranes and can also provide insulation.
