Question

In animals,the bulk of energy is stored as __________.
A)fatty acids
B)triacylglycerols
C)glycogen
D)waxes
E)glycerophospholipids

Accepted Answer

The bulk of energy in animals is stored as triacylglycerols, which are also known as fats. Fatty acids and glycerophospholipids are components of triacylglycerols, but they are not the primary way in which energy is stored. Glycogen is a form of energy storage in animals, but it is mainly found in the liver and muscles, and is not the primary way in which energy is stored long term. Waxes are not a major form of energy storage in animals.
