They are stored as triglycerides, phospholipids and sterols(cholesterol)

Lipids
Lipids are stored by the body as energy reserves
they are stored as fats
lipids provide stored energy for your body, are part of cells, and make hormone structures
Lipids are the same as fat. They are stored throughout your body and you get them from food. If you eat too much you will gain weight.
The best known lipids are fats, oils, triglycerides and cholesterol. Cholesterol is a type of sterol found in the human body. Lipids are stored in the body for energy.
provide insulation, protection, and stored energy
Glygogen and lipids are stored as inclusions in the cytosol.
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.
Lipids are important to the human body since they helps produce hormones, and builds cell membranes and other needed tissue. Lipids, both lipoproteins and triglycerides, are made and stored in the body and are used as energy sources. Lipids also play a major role in cardiovascular health answer by karen
lipids being insoluble in water are transported in the body in the form of lipoproteins. These lipoproteins transport lipids from the intestine and the liver to the locations where the are oxidized or to adipose tissues where they are stored.
Water and lipids (fat) react differently in the body. The lipids are stored by the body and the water is absorbed into the body. Certain drugs and conditions may interfere with the ability to absorb them and to much of them can cause illness.
