Lipid

Real World Example

Imagine trying to pack a suitcase for a long trip, ensuring you fit everything you need without exceeding the weight limit. Lipids, like fats and oils, are similar because they are the body's way of efficiently packing in a lot of energy into a compact space. Just as you strategically place items to maximize space in your suitcase, the body uses lipids to store large amounts of energy in small amounts, allowing us to carry energy reserves without being weighed down.
