NEET BIOLOGY

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: molecules created and used by animals for long term energy storage, protection, and warmth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Energy Storage While glycogen provides a ready source of energy, lipids primarily function as an energy reserve.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
