Question

why are lipids important for the survival of animals?

○ lipids store long term energy and provide insulation that animals need.

○ lipids provide animals with quick energy for routine tasks.

○ lipids carry genetic information in the form of rna.

○ lipids contain amino acids necessary for protein synthesis.

Explanation:

• Option B: Carbohydrates (not lipids) provide quick energy for routine tasks.
• Option C: Nucleic acids (like DNA/RNA) carry genetic information, not lipids.
• Option D: Proteins are made of amino acids, and lipids do not contain amino acids for protein synthesis.
• Option A: Lipids (e.g., fats) are known to store long - term energy and also provide insulation (like in adipose tissue of animals), so this is the correct statement about the importance of lipids for animals.

Answer:

A. Lipids store long term energy and provide insulation that animals need.
