Lipids can insulate and help prevent heat loss, acting as a protective layer for organisms in cold environments. They are energy-dense, not yielding little energy per unit of weight, do not function as enzymes (that's proteins), are generally not water soluble, and do not comprise the genetic material of cells (that's nucleic acids).
