A - lipids
B - carbohydrates
C - enzymes
D - proteins
I selected B and got it wrong. Professor says - lipids is the correct answeer.
Obviously lipids are used for that purpose and indeed do store more energy, but carbhydrates are used to store energy for short term purposes too. Don't you think that the question is incorrect?
Thanks.

Both A and B are correct. Glycogen is a carbohydrate. In plants, energy is stored mainly as starch. In sugarcane and sugar beet, it is sucrose.

I think both answers are correct. You could argue...I mean your point is right. He should have specified what he meant. And glycogen is something in which energy is stored. It's a carbohydrate. Talk to your professor.

Bad question! Your Prof should have given the benefit of the doubt unless there was an instruction at the start of the test to select the "best" answer.
Sorry!
