A
nitrogen
B
proteins
C
structure
D
energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are more easily metabolized than lipids. 3. However, on a gram-to-gram basis, lipids provide more cells with energy than carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Differences: Lipid molecules contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates (about twice as much) Carbohydrates are more readily digested than lipids and release their energy more rapidly.

Detailed explanation-3: -The amount of energy stored as lipids is greater than the amount stored as glycogen since the human body cannot store as much glycogen as lipids can.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Lipids are considered to be a very crucial source of energy. It is considered to be a better source than carbohydrates because it yields more fatty acids. Also, lipids are compact in structure so they can store energy quite efficiently.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both carbohydrates and lipids offer important nutrients to your diet. Carbohydrates offer a ready source of fuel to your cells, while lipids can store energy in your fat tissue for later use. Lipids also provide fat-soluble vitamins and are a structural part of membranes and hormones.
