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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fats provide the body with loads of benefits, including unlimited energy storage, padding to protect internal organs, and insulation to help with temperature control. Fats also assists in the transport of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K.)
Detailed explanation-3: -The ester functional group is of primary importance in the biochemical group of compounds called waxes, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macromolecules. Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are macromolecules that we ingest for energy.
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).
