If an animal cell has excess energy, what is most likely to happen to this energy?

Len [333]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. If an animal cell has excess energy, most likely it will be stored as fat molecules. Anabolic process is done to synthesize Triglycerides (Fat) to store for a rainy day. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
