Answer: Energy is stored in the body primarily as GLYCOGEN in the muscles and liver and as TRIGLYCERIDE in subcutaneous body fat.
Explanation:
We take in food for the purpose of ENERGY, building of worn out tissues of the body and to boost the body immunity. After the intake of food, amino acids from dietary protein are used to synthesize body proteins and other molecules, carbohydrate is used to maintain blood glucose and to build glycogen stores, fat is used for energy or stored in the body.
The body must have a steady supply of energy with some of it coming from the metabolism of glucose.
GLYCOGEN formation occurs when there is excess blood glucose level in the process called glycogenesis. It is the suitable way glucose can be stored as it is insoluble and can not disturb the osmotic pressure of the cells. When food is restricted over time, glycogen stores are expended, and the body must rely on the breakdown of stored GLYCOGEN to be converted to glucose for energy production.
Also, energy for tissues that don't require glucose can come from the breakdown of triglycerides in the adipose tissue. TRIGLYCERIDES are formed by the liver when excess calories are taken, and are stored in the adipose tissues.
Pollution plays a huge factor. With factories in demand, more and more substances are being released into Earth's atmosphere, resulting in higher temperatures.
Answer:
10 grams of fat.
Explanation:
The four important biomolecules are protein, carbohydrate, fat and nucleic acid. These biomolecules are used for the genereation of ATP in living organisms.
The largest amount of energy is produced by fat as compared with proteins and fats. Hence, 10 grams of fat produce largest amount of energy.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
