Explain why lipids are better storage material in animals than carbohydrates
- They are insoluble in water so can be stored without being lost in solution
- They have a high calorific valve and therefore store a large amount of energy in a small space than carbohydrates.
- They are highly compacted and store more energy in a relatively small space compared to carbohydrates.
- They have high hydrogen but low oxygen content and so can yield a lot of energy and water on oxidation.
- They are lighter in weight than carbohydrates so keep the weight of the organism lower even with large energy deposits.
- They are relatively inert compared to carbohydrates do that they are kept unaltered over a long time.
