The potential energy stored in lipids is 9 calories per gram
The potential energy stored in proteins is 4 calories per gram
The potential energy stored in carbohydrates is 4 calories per gram

This is how they are utilized by the body: 

<span>Lipids are broken down into their most basic form, glycerolProteins are broken down into their most basic form, amino acidsCarbohydrates are broken down into their most basic form, sugars</span>

The body then utilizes sugars, amino acids and glycerols to build substances that are needed for its growth, maintenance, and activity.


The body looks for these molecules as a source of energy in this order:
1. Carbohydrates
2. Lipids
3. Proteins

JulijaS [17]

Some ways would be to use less gas-powered items, such as some stoves. Communities can encourage carpools and walking. If you  were to drive, don't gun the gas and drive at moderate speeds.

In your own home you can conserve energy by turning off lights and electronic devices when not in use.  You could also use energy efficient light-bulbs.

Among the products of glycolysis, which compounds contain energy that can be used by other biological reactions?a) ATP onlyb) py
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: A (ATP only)

Explanation:

Both NADH and pyruvate are energy store. NADH and pyruvate can not directly be used to drive biological reaction.The metabolism of pyruvate releases energy in the form of ATP. NADH produces ATP through the electron transport chain (ETC). Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is referred to as the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used directly as energy to drive endergonic and exergonic biological reaction.

Answer is ATP only
