Why do cells use fat and starch for long-term energy storage instead of ATP molecules?

A.) ATP is used for long-term storage, while fat and starch are used for immediate energy.
B.) ATP is used for short-term energy and to build molecules of starch and fat.
C.) Fat and starch are unstable and can be stored short-term, while ATP molecules are stable and stored long-term.
D.) Fat and starch are stable if used as energy immediately, while ATP is used as long-term storage

Answer 1

Answer:Cells use fat and starch for long term energy storage instead of ATP molecules because it is hard to breakdown fat in a very short time while ATP can be broken down in a very short time. ATP is mainly used while doing short bursts of exercises. Fats have a very strong bond of molecular chains and this makes it hard to breakdown quickly.
