D
storing & transferring genetic info
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a variety of functions in your body. They’re part of your cell membranes and help control what goes in and out of your cells. They help with moving and storing energy, absorbing vitamins and making hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synthesis and Function of Lipids in the Body The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, as lipids may be broken down to yield large amounts of energy. Lipids also form the structural components of cell membranes, and form various messengers and signaling molecules within the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to the barrier function, lipids provide membranes with the potential for budding, tubulation, fission and fusion, characteristics that are essential for cell division, biological reproduction and intracellular membrane trafficking.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell membrane is made mostly of lipids, a group of macromolecules made of hydrocarbon chains, such as fats, sterols, and waxes. Lipids function to form membranes inside cells and to store energy. The most common lipid in the cell membrane are phospholipids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Storing and providing energy. Chemical messengers. Cholesterol formation. Regulating body temperature. Formation of Prostaglandin and its role in inflammation. Membrane lipid layer formation.
