Fat and atp are different molecules that can both be described as molecules that store energy. compare the functions of these molecules in terms of energy storage.

a. atp molecules are made when where there is an excess amount of energy, while fat molecules are used immediately.

b. atp molecules are used for long-term storage, while fat is used for immediate energy.

c. fat molecules are stable and can be stored for short-term, while atp is not.

d. fat molecules are unstable and can be stored short-term, while atp molecules are stable and stored long-term.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.

the correct answer is b
