    Both are used for energy storage, but only carbohydrates are used for short-term energy storage.

    Explanation:

    Carbohydrates provide energy in the short term and quickly. On the other hand, lipids are created to provide long-term energy, so you don't start "burning fat" with just 20 minutes of training. During physical exercise, your body must first burn the available carbohydrates in your cells, expending immediate energy, and then it starts to separate the lipid molecules to use them as fuel.

    Carbohydrate molecules "burn" fast, so they provide energy in the short term.

    Because carbs are like a storehouse in a human body because they store energy for up to 24 hours after consumption.
