Question

Why do cells use fat and starch for long-term energy storage instead of ATP molecules?

Answer 1

c-ATP is used for short-term energy and to build molecules of starch and fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Cells use fat and starch for long term energy storage instead of ATP molecules because it is hard to breakdown fat in a very short time while ATP can be broken down in a very short time. ATP is mainly used while doing short bursts of exercises. Fats have a very strong bond of molecular chains and this makes it hard to breakdown quickly.
