Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:.

  • Glucose is vital for the functioning of the human brain and just like the body the brain cells operate and this energy comes from the food we tend to consume and is get regularly delivered to the brain cells through the blood.
  • Lipids have a function to store energy and are synonymously used as fats. Some of them can be broken down by the synthetic pathways but can be converted into glucose for storage of energy.
