A) fats.

E) vitamins.

Answered by admin @


Answer: A) fats.

Explanation:

The fats are the biomolecules which are essential for the survival of the living beings. These are the energy reservoirs of the body. They store energy in the body more than the carbohydrates or proteins. These fats are stored in the form of triesters, which when hydrolyzed results in the formation of the tri-alcohol glycerol and three fatty acids. This process releases energy.
