Detailed explanation-1: -Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats.

Detailed explanation-2: -The organic molecules that store the most energy are called fats or triglycerides. The animal body uses carbohydrates (glycogen) for medium-term energy storage and fats or triglycerides (lipids) for long-term energy storage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids have two main roles inside cells, to form membrane structures and to provide long term storage of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phospholipids, the principal components of cell membranes, consist of two fatty acids joined to a polar head group (Figure 2.7). In the glycerol phospholipids, the two fatty acids are bound to carbon atoms in glycerol, as in triacylglycerols.
