Answer: To compensate for low concentrations of carbohydrates, the body hydrolyzes TAGs to free fatty acids and glycerol, the latter of which is provided in ample supply to feed the -citric acid cycle.

<span>When the body is under starvation condition, low concentration of carbohydrates occurs, then the body hydrolyzes triacylglycerols to fatty acids and ketone bodies. Moreover, the acetyl CoA cannot be transformed into pyruvate so fatty acids cannot be converted into glucose. The other potential source of glucose is amino acids but this process is inherently inefficient and weakens the body so protein must be preserve.</span>

Why do scientists take lots of measurements and calculate averages?
Dima020 [189]
 Scientists take more than one measurements because they want to make sure that their results are fairly accurate answer, result, or/ and explanation on a subject.

Reason: If a scientist just used one measurement or used even one testing group then in the near future, people might use that ONE measurement or testing group to prove questions. .
   In actuality, using more than one measurements can help you go for a more precise answer. It is better to use more than one measurement or testing group that way you may have a more wide explanation of why something is that way.
   For example, if a person wants to know why a softer ball(like a tennis ball) bounces higher than something like a box then the person will use more than one measurement. This will include the height of the bounce, the volume of the items used, the force of gravity on the object, and some other things.

(Hope this helps you better understand :) )
