Explanation:Carbohydrates are used for energy (glucose). Fats are used for energy after they are broken into fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are soluble in water and are the most abundant dietary source of energy for all living organisms, whereas fats are insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol, ether, etc. Fats are also considered as a chief store of energy.
Our body needs ample amount of energy to do ‘work’, which we get through macromolecules like carbohydrate and fats. Both of them provide energy to the body and are macronutrients which mean carbohydrates and fats are among top three sources of energy for a body.
Fats are said to be the simplest form of lipids having carboxylic acids with the side chain of the hydrocarbon. The chemical name of fats and oils is ‘Triglycerols’, they are said to the derivative of hydrocarbons and esters of fatty acids with glycerol.
Fats and oils are not polymers, but small molecules which are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like alcohol, ether, etc. The primary function of fat is to store energy.
