Iron is not a molecule used for energy storage; rather, it is a mineral essential for transporting oxygen in the blood. Glucose, glycogen, and triglycerides are examples of molecules commonly used for energy storage in the body.
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
When one glycerol molecule covalently binds via dehydration synthesis with three fatty acid molecules, the resulting macromolecule is called a triglyceride. This molecule serves as a type of fat storage in organisms and can be broken down for energy when needed.
Starch and glycogen act as energy storage molecules in plants and animals, respectively. They are polysaccharides composed of glucose units and serve as a reserve of energy that can be broken down when needed by the organism.
Three water molecules are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with three fatty acid molecules in a condensation reaction. Each fatty acid molecule contributes a water molecule when it reacts with the glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride.
Yes. The energy-storage molecule, ATP, is adenosine triphosphate.
This molecule is called a triglyceride. It is a type of lipid that consists of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are a major form of fat storage in the body and are important for energy storage and insulation.
Whales use fat or lipid molecules for energy and insulation.
Animals have molecules that can store energy for short term and long term periods of time. Animals use carbohydrates as short term storage and Lipids as long term storage.
"Triglyceride- a compound consisting of three molecules of fatty acids bound with one molecule of glycerol; a neutral fat that is the usual storage form of lipids in animals." So I am guessing that is a yes. :)

The principle storage molecule for glucose in plants is starch . The principle storage molecule for glucose in animal cells is glycogen.

It depends on the species and what kind of organism. For animals common storage molecules are glycogen for sugars and fatty acids for fats. In plants storage of sugar is usually in the form of starch. However, some bacteria grow on exotic substances, and may use elemental sulphur as their storage molecule. In bacteria it also depeneds on the environment in which they are living and the availability of certain elements, for example, poly hydroxy butyrate is used as a storage molecule when conditions are limited in nitrogen and phosphorus, while other molecules would be used in other conditions.

An electron carrier acts as an energy-storage molecule when it is in a reduced state by gaining electrons and storing energy in chemical bonds. Examples of electron carriers involved in energy storage include NADH and FADH2, which are critical molecules in cellular respiration for ATP production.
The energy storage molecule produced by photosynthesis is glucose. This molecule is produced during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis and serves as a source of energy for the plant.
