Question
multiple choice question
which of the following is the bodys most efficient form of stored energy?
sterols
phospholipids
triglycerides
glycogen
Brief Explanations
Sterols (like cholesterol) have structural/regulatory roles, not primary energy storage. Phospholipids form cell membranes, not energy reserves. Glycogen is short-term stored energy, while triglycerides (stored in adipose tissue) yield more energy per gram (~9 kcal/g vs 4 kcal/g for glycogen) and are the body's long-term, most efficient stored energy source.
