Which biomolecule is classified as fats that act as long term energy storage?
A
Lipids
B
Carbohydrates
C
Protein
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body. Fats are very compact and light weight, so they are an efficient way to store excess energy. A fat is made up of a glycerol, which is attached to 1 to 3 fatty acid chains.

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: -Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein.
