Storage form of lipids is:
Correct answer: C. Triglycerides
- A. Esterified cholesterol
- B. Glycerophospholipids
- C. Triglycerides
- D. Sphingolipids
Explanation
Correct option is C. Lipids are stored in the body in different forms such as, triglycerides, fat cells, cell membranes and lipoproteins. Any excess energy consumed is converted to triglycerides which together with globules make up 90% of the fat cells. These fat cells contain enough energy storage to keep the body functioning for 30 days.
