Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipids are not hydrous, meaning that they do not have water content. They are best described as anhydrous, or without water. This characteristic enables lipids to produce more energy per gram than either carbohydrates or proteins. Lipids produce 9 kcal/g, whereas carbohydrates and proteins both produce 4 kcal/g. These characteristics combined with their unlimited storage capacity explain why catabolism (break down) of lipids is a major source of energy for the body.
