Question
during hibernation, a bear survives for months without eating. which biomolecule is primarily responsible for this long - term energy storage? proteins carbohydrates nucleic acids lipids
Lipids are the primary biomolecules for long - term energy storage in animals. During hibernation, a bear relies on the energy stored in its fat (lipids) reserves to survive without eating for months. Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information, carbohydrates are for short - term energy, and proteins have various functions like structure and catalysis but are not main for long - term energy storage.
