Answer 1

1. a. To store energy2. d. More carbon-carbon bonds lead to a higher melting point.

Answer 2

Lipids primarily store energy in the human body. The number of carbon-carbon bonds in a fatty acid affects its melting point; more double bonds (unsaturation) lower the melting point, while more single bonds (saturation) increase it.
