Carbohydrates, lipids, and even proteins can be metabolized for energy. ATP and related compounds are also used as temporary energy storage vehicles. 9 What is the comparative value of common energy sources for cells? Energy source Energy yield Carbohydrate Fat Protein 4 kcal/g 9 kcal/g 4 kcal/g What is cholesterol? Cholesterol belongs to the subclass of lipids known as steroids. Steroids have a unique chemical structure. They are built from four carbon-laden ring structures that are fused together.

Complex molecules such as starch may have hundreds of participating atoms linked in a specific pattern. What is a chemical bond? A chemical bond is an attraction between the electrons present in the outermost energy level or shell of a particular atom. This outermost energy level is known as the valence shell. Atoms with an unfilled outer shell are less stable and tend to share, accept, or donate electrons. When this happens, a chemical bond is formed. In living systems, chemical reactions, supervised by enzymes, link atoms together to form molecules.
