- Lipids, as compared with carbohydrates, are much more reduced (i.e., there are many more C-H bonds and far fewer C-OH or C=O bonds).Because of this greater degree of reduction, lipids store more energy per gram than do carbohydrates (nine vs. four, respectively).

Lipids are mainly composed of hydrocarbons in their most reduced form, making them an excellent form of energy storage, as when metabolized the hydrocarbons oxidize to release large amounts of energy.

Which is an organic hydrocarbon that can release a large amount of energy?
Fats; or Lipids
Carbohydratyes store more energy in bonds between its atoms than lipids?
No. Long chains of hydrocarbons, basically what lipids are, store much more energy in the bonds than carbohydrates do.
What purpose do lipids serve in the human body?
Lipids are concentrated sources of energy and provide fuel for aerobic respiration. Lipids are a source of metabolic water. during respiration stored lipids are metabolized for energy, producing water and carbon dioxide. Stored lipids provide insulation. increased body fat levels in winter reduce heat losses to the environment.
What is an organic compound that provides energy to cells stores energy and forms body structures?
sex-is an orgnic compund that resvers energy
What lipids provide the body with its main energy reservations?
Lipids i hate biology
What releases twice as much energy than carbohydrates?
Gram for gram, lipids release twice as much energy as carbohydrates do.
Which is an organic hydrocarbon that can release a large amount of energy?
Fats; or Lipids
What are organic compounds that store and release large amounts of energy?
Lipids
How much energy do lipids store as compared to carbohydrates?
lipids contain much more energy then carbohydrates. One gram of lipids create an average of 423 ATP or 0.47 mol ATP/gram. Glucose, with a molecular weight of 180.16, generates only 36 ATP, or 0.20 mol ATP/gram
What are the types of organic compounds that store and release large amounts of energy?
the answer is lipids
What is the major functions of lipids?
lipids are fats so they are used by the body for insulation, and they also store loads of energy and to release it when it is needed
What class of organic molecule is used as an immediate energy source for most organisms?
They are the lipids. Lipids can store much energy
Are important energy-storing molecules in living organisms that store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates?
Lipids
Which class of macromolecules us primarily used as a rapidly available source by living things?
They are the lipids. Lipids can store much energy
Carbohydratyes store more energy in bonds between its atoms than lipids?
No. Long chains of hydrocarbons, basically what lipids are, store much more energy in the bonds than carbohydrates do.
What does lipids gives us and what does it do to your body?
Lipids are your body's way of storing energy. Too much and it interferes with motion, circulation, and eventually survival.
Cells store what in lipids to use later?
Lipids are used for energy storage, cushions vital organs, and insulates the organism
