Question
what are two of the main functions of lipids? (select two) lowering body temperature insulation long - term energy storage short - term energy storage
Lipids act as insulation (e.g., in animals like whales, blubber which is lipid - rich helps insulate the body). They also serve as long - term energy storage (triglycerides in adipose tissue are broken down when energy is needed over a long period, while carbohydrates are for short - term energy storage). Lowering body temperature is not a main function of lipids.
