Differences in energy storages of carbs and lipids (5)

Storage CARB: short term energy storage LIPID: long term energy storage Osmotic effect CARB: more effect on cell LIPID: less effect on cell Digestion CARB: easily digested LIPID: harder to digest ATP Yield: CARB: stores half as much ATP per gram LIPID: stores 2x as muc ATP per gram Solubility CARB: water soluble as monomers - easy to transport LIPID: not water soluble (hydrophobic) - difficult to transport
