Explanation:

The primary function of fats within the human body is storage of excess energy. Fats are also necessary for the absorption of carotenoids (naturally occurring pigments from plant sources) and fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble), and they play a structural role in cell membranes.
