Detailed explanation-1: -Similarities: Complex carbohydrates (e.g. polysaccharides) and lipids both contain a lot of chemical energy and can be used for energy storage. Complex carbohydrates and lipids are both insoluble in water-they are not easily transported.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrate in the form of glucose is the main source of energy for most metabolic processes in the body. Lipids provide essential fatty acids for brain development and are an important source of energy. Together carbohydrates and lipids provide the non-nitrogen energy in parenteral nutrition (PN).
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Carbohydrates and lipids are alike in the fact that they are both types of organic molecules found in living organisms. This means that they consist of many carbon atoms with oxygen and hydrogen bonded to them. Both carbohydrates and lipids are energy sources for living things.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both carbohydrates and lipids offer important nutrients to your diet. Carbohydrates offer a ready source of fuel to your cells, while lipids can store energy in your fat tissue for later use. Lipids also provide fat-soluble vitamins and are a structural part of membranes and hormones.
Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON). Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P).
