I believe lipids is what you are going for. A lipid is a macromolecule (monomer of fatty acids) that cushions organs, stores energy, and a version of it is solid at room temperature. The version of it that is solid at room temperature is called a saturated fat. Saturated fat may also be a correct answer.

Answer:

Energy is stored in glucose molecules C6H12O6

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of photosynthesis. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable chemical energy in covalent bonds. In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
