What is the difference between Carbohydartes and Lipids?

Carbohydrates are a source of energy consisting of sugars, starches, and fibers, while lipids include fats, oils, and cholesterol that serve as a long-term energy storage, insulation, and cell membrane structure. Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars for quick energy, while lipids provide more sustained energy and play a structural role in cell membranes.
