Detailed explanation-1: -Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body.
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 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -They are surrounded by water, which sets a lower limit to the amount of space required to store them and the weight they add. Because of these differences, lipids are used in long-term energy storage (adipose, or fat, tissue), and carbohydrates are used in short-term energy storage (glycogen).
