Triacylglycerols are considered the major form of lipid considered as energy reservoirs in animals. a. What makes this lipid able to give larger amounts of energy when it is catabolized by the cell? Does its structure and components have something to do with it? If yes, how? b. TAGs are also considered one of the most abundant type of lipid, but they are not components of biological membranes. Why could be the reason why they cannot? Please explain in simple...
