D
nucleic acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. For example, they help keep aquatic birds and mammals dry because of their water-repelling nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Triglyceride is the most common lipid that is used for energy storage. Triglycerides are the main body fat constituents for vertebrates. They are tri-esters comprising a glycerol molecule that is bound to three fatty acid molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids have two main functions. They are used for long-term energy storage, and they insulate and waterproof the organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Lipids are molecules that can be used for long-term energy storage. Also known as fats, lipids are organic compounds that are made of an arrangement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Triglycerides, cholesterol and other essential fatty acids-the scientific term for fats the body can’t make on its own-store energy, insulate us and protect our vital organs.
