Lipid Used for Energy Storage

Lipids can usually be classified as having high energy hydrophobic molecules. A lipid's main function is energy storage. Butter is an example of a lipid that is used for energy storage. Once the body has broken down the nutrients from the butter, they are then used to supply the body with energy to live. Lipids used for energy storage are also known as triglycerides. Triglycerides are the main components of body and animal fat, which can again be broken down and used for energy.
