Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are also used to insulate and protect your body.

Your vital organs eg the kidneys, have a layer of fat around them that acts like bubble wrap to protect them from injury.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fats and oils are part of a class of biomolecules called lipids, which are loosely defined as biomolecules that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like hexane or chloroform.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids make up cell membranes. Which biomolecule is important for insulation? Lipids are important for insulation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids perform three primary biological functions within the body: they serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signaling molecules.
