The primary function of lipids in the cell is energy storage. While lipids also play roles in structural support (such as forming cell membranes) and may have some involvement in signaling, their main function is to serve as an energy reserve. They can store more energy per gram than carbohydrates or proteins, making them an effective form of energy storage for the cell.
