Question

What is one difference between carbohydrates and lipids?

Answer 1

Answer: Lipid molecules contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates (about twice as much) Carbohydrates are more readily digested than lipids and release their energy more rapidly. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are water soluble and easier to transport to and from storage sites than lipids. hope this helps ~\(^-^)/~

Answer 2

The major difference is that carbohydrates are polar and hydrophilic so it dissolves easily in water. Lipids are nonpolar and hydrophobic so it does not mix with water. OH bonds in carbs make it hydrophilic. ... Lipids (fat) are made up of many sugar molecules so the fat molecules contain a lot of energy.
