Insulation Identify Lipids Animals Marks Storage Fat Hormones

Lipids in animals serve multiple functions including energy storage as fat, acting as steroid hormones, forming cell membranes, providing thermal and electrical insulation, and contributing to waterproofing.

Lipids in animals are used for energy storage as fat, as steroid hormones, in cell membranes, for thermal insulation, electrical insulation (myelin sheath), and waterproofing.
