Question

What type of molecule do animal cells use for a long-term energy storage?

Answer 1

molecule glycogen

Plants build carbohydrates using light energy from the sun (during the process of photosynthesis), while animals eat plants or other animals to obtain carbohydrates. Plants store carbohydrates in long polysaccharides chains called starch, while animals store carbohydrates as the molecule glycogen.

Answer 2

Lipids

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipids store about twice as much energy as carbohydrates Lipids are used for long-term energy storage whereas carbohydrates are used for short-term energy storage Lipids are insoluble whereas carbohydrates are often soluble. This means that lipids do not have an osmotic effect on organisms.
