Question

Janine also said: "if you eat way too much protein and not enough carbs you can ruin your kidneys forever because of all the nitrogen you have to process breaking down the protein." find out if janine is right about this, too. check a biology textbook for information on protein, fats, and carbohydrates. to fi nd out how these substances can be used for energy, look up information on cellular respiration

Answer 1

Janine is right because CONSUMING TOO MUCH PROTEINS AND NO CARBOHYDRATES WITH PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE LIVER AND KIDNEY. LIVER AND KIDNEY WILL REQUIRE MORE ENERGY TO BREAKDOWN TOO MUCH PROTEINS. THUS KIDNEY MIGHT GET RUINED DUE TO TOO MUCH WORK.

Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are used as source of energy and converted into energy. Carbohydrates are first to be metabolized for the production of energy. It is readily broken down into simple form. Brain uses only carbohydrate in the form of glucose as energy source. Glucose is used as an immediate fuel.

Protein is used as a source of energy when the body lacks carbohydrates. If protein and carbohydrates are received by the body in sufficient amount, protein is used for other specific purposes. Protein is not reserved for later use and our body do not store protein. It acts as building blocks of body to maintain the proper functioning of the body.

Fats are the last source of energy and used as energy source only in the absence of carbohydrates and proteins. Energy is stored in the body in the form of fat in the adipose tissues for later use in the absence carbohydrates and proteins. This stored fat is broken down into energy during exercise.
