Answer:
1.what are the differences between carbohydrates and lipids?
Differences: Lipid molecules contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates (about twice as much) Carbohydrates are more readily digested than lipids and release their energy more rapidly. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are water soluble and easier to transport to and from storage sites than lipids.
2.what are their similarities?
They are all organic compounds, that is, they contain the element carbon. Carbohydrates and lipids both contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (0); proteins contain these three elements plus one or more from nitrogen (N), sulphur (S) and phosphorous (P).
3.List down some beneficial effecrs of carbohydrates and lipids in our body.
Carbohydrates are your body's main source of energy: They help fuel your brain, kidneys, heart muscles, and central nervous system. For instance, fiber is a carbohydrate that aids in digestion, helps you feel full, and keeps blood cholesterol levels in check.
