Detailed explanation-3: -The class of biomolecule that is mostly used as an energy storage molecule are polysaccharides. Specifically in some cells the storage molecule at the most basic level is glucose. In larger organisms the storage molecule for humans is glycogen which is used as a glucose storage.
Detailed explanation-4: -Like carbohydrates, lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. In addition to storing energy, lipids help build certain hormones; provide insulation; and form cell membranes.
