The human body has three macromolecule energy sources: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Carbohydrates are made up of many individual sugar units which are linked together in long chains. The chains can be straight, or they can be branched. Carbohydrates have the molecular formula C6nH(10n+2)O(5n+1) so they only contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Sugars are used for short to intermediate term storage of energy. That's why drinking a sugary drink can give you energy (a sugar rush) for a short time but then it wears off. The amount of energy in sugar is 4 kcal/g.Proteins are usually made of straight chains of linked peptide units. They provide long term energy storage. Proteins contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen with small amounts of sulfur with varying molecular formulas. That is why eating a steak will make you feel full for many hours. Proteins are also used to build up many of the structures in the human body so they are necessary to repair damaged tissue. The amount of energy in protein is 4 kcal/g, just like sugar.Fats are made of up clusters of fatty acids, long chains of repeating CH2 units so they are mostly made of just carbon and hydrogen. Fats are used for long term energy storage. Excess sugar and protein that is consumed by most animals are converted to fats to save the energy for later. The amount of energy in fat is very high, 9kcal/g.

∙ 9y agoCarbohydrates, fats, and proteins are macromolecules commonly used for energy in the body. Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy, while fats are stored energy reserves. Proteins can also be used for energy when carbohydrates and fats are not available.

∙ 8y agoThat is the glucose. It is a monosaccharide
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes macromolecule such as glycogen and fats are used to store energy for longer period. During fasting, they breaks to form energy. They are regulated by insulin and glucagon hormones.

Carbohydrates are the main macromolecules used for short-term energy storage in the human body. When carbohydrates are broken down during digestion, they are converted into glucose, which is then used as a primary source of energy by cells.
They are the lipids. They store a lot of energy
They are used as building blocks for proteins, DNA and energy.
The plant organelle used to degrade macromolecules is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down larger molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or recycling.
because different macromolecules have different kinds/quantity of bonds, and these bonds holds energy

Glycogen (made up the macromolecule carbohydrates)
Carbohydrates and lipids are the two macromolecules used as the primary source of energy for cellular functions. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is the main source of energy for cells. Lipids can store and provide energy for longer periods of time compared to carbohydrates.
The organelle is called mitochondria. It is responsible for cellular respiration, a process in which oxygen is used to convert macromolecules (such as glucose) into ATP, the main energy currency of the cell.
The lysosome is the digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed within a cell. It contains enzymes that break down larger molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building blocks.
