So, considering that, carbohydrates and lipids are the most commonly used biomolecules for energy sources. We could mention that the amount of energy obtained from these two organic compounds is 4 kilocalories/gram (kcal/g), and 9 kcal/g, respectively.

So the answer to the question is the a point:

carbohydrates and lipids.
