Answer:
- Lipids can store more energy, don't dissolve in water and don't form polymers.
- Lipids are hydrophobic molecules - they hate water and don't dissolve in it, because they don't have much oxygen in them, and carbon doesn't much enjoy the water.
- Carbohydrates have less energy but are water soluble and can be polymers.
- Carbohydrates have much more oxygen and so are hydrophillic - that is, they do dissolve in water.
