Question

What do you mean by storage lipids? Add a note on their structure and functions.

Answer 1

HEY MATE !!!

Defination

(for understanding)

Lipids such as cholesterol, cholesteryl esters and triglycerides are stored in your body primarily in specialized fat cells called adipocytes, which comprise a specialized fatty tissue called adipose tissue. Stored lipids can be derived from the lipids in your diet or from lipids that your body synthesizes.

(to answer for 1M)

Lipids are fat-like substances that do not dissolve in water. They contain various fats, waxes, steroids,etc

Structure

Please refer attachment for the figure

The lipids that make up our cell membranes are phospholipids, and they're awfully similar to soap. They consist of glycerol attached to a phosphate group and to two fatty acids, or carboxylic acids.

Function

Lipids perform several biological functions:

Lipids are storage compounds, triglycerides serve as reserve energy of the body.

Lipids are important component of cell membranes structure in eukaryotic cells.

Lipids regulate membrane permeability.

I've cut short the answer a bit ,if you want to know more about them, please comment,I'll accordingly change my answer

HOPE YOU'VE FOUND IT IMFORMATIVE !!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds that are essential for several biological functions, ranging from energy storage to cell signaling.They are loosely described as organic, water-insoluble compounds demonstrating high solubility in non-polar solvents. ... Storage lipids.
