Question

fats have a high amount of stored energy because _____. once ingested, they quickly and easily dissolve in the body making them readily accessible the hydrocarbon chains have many bonds that take time to break down fats are actually low in stored energy due to a lipid barrier that makes the breakdown of these molecules more difficult than other sources of energy

Explanation:

Fats contain long - chain hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbon chains have numerous covalent bonds. Breaking these bonds releases a large amount of energy, which is why fats have a high amount of stored energy.

Answer:

the hydrocarbon chains have many bonds that take time to break down
