Question

In a healthy individual, glucose that isn’t used immediately can be:A) removed from the body via the urine.B) stored in the short term as glycogen.C) converted to fat for short-term storage.D) converted to protein and used to build muscle.E) incorporated into the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA.

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) Converted to fat for short-term storage

Explanation:

If the body doesn't use the sugar that is left over from their food that has been consumed, that leaves it to transform into sugar for our fat storage. This is why when people go on a diet to avoid sugar, they go into "fat burning" stages since the body doesn't have sugar to feed off of, leaving the body to use the fat that has been stored due to excess sugar.
