The energy produced per gram is highest in the case of
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Lipid.
During respiration, reduced substrates are oxidised to release energy. Carbohydrates are the most common substrates for cellular respiration. Fats (lipids) are the most energy rich compounds. Carbon is present in a highly reduced state in fats. Oxidation (respiration) of fats releases almost double the energy as released in oxidation (respiration) of carbohydrates.
