Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Lipids. Lipids: molecules created and used by animals for long term energy storage, protection, and warmth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants store carbohydrates in long polysaccharides chains called starch, while animals store carbohydrates as the molecule glycogen. These large polysaccharides contain many chemical bonds and therefore store a lot of chemical energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -A biomolecule refers to any molecule that is produced by living organisms. As such, most of them are organic molecules. The four major groups of biomolecules include amino acids and proteins, carbohydrates (especially, polysaccharides), lipids, and nucleic acids.
