Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids store the currently unwanted calories of the body and use them in the future. Glycerolipids consist of mono, di and tri-substituted glycerols. They comprise the bulk of storage fat in animals as their main function is the storage of energy. Triglyceride is the most common lipid that is used for energy storage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fats (lipids) 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-3: -Lipids are the highest long-term energy storage molecules. One gram of lipids yields 9 kcal of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids are an efficient source of energy (9kcal per gram) that the body stores in relative abundance. They also play an important role as building blocks for cell membranes, hormones, and physiologically active substances.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids, including triglycerides, fat cells, lipoproteins, and cell membranes, are processed in various forms in the body. Any excess energy absorbed is converted into triglycerides, which along with globules make up 90 percent of fat cells. To keep the body going, these fat cells have enough energy storage for 30 days.
