Sam, Amya, and Jackson are preparing for their biology quiz. They are debating about the role of lipids in the human body. Sam suggests that lipids are responsible for muscle contraction, Amya argues that lipids assist in the production of hormones and enzymes, while Jackson insists that lipids help in the transportation of oxygen. However, their biology teacher, Dame, had explained a different function of lipids in their previous class. Can you remember what it was?

• Lipids are responsible for muscle contraction in the body.

• Lipids help in the production of hormones and enzymes in the body.

• Lipids aid in the transportation of oxygen in the body.

• Lipids serve as a source of energy, insulation, and protection for organs in the body.
