Answer:

The correct answer is: excess amino acids may be used to meet energy needs or converted to and stored as fat.

Explanation:

Increasing protein intake is key to further develop strength and muscle hypertrophy, which are needed for a career in bodybuilding, but consuming more protein than needed can have quite the opposite effect.

In order to succeed in the path of increasing muscle mass, protein needs to be 1) ingested according to the person's dietary needs, and 2) accompanied by exercise to use the energy it gives to the body, otherwise this energy will be stored as fat and may lead to weight gain.

Answer:

They are stored as carbohydrate or fat

Explanation:

The amine group in the amino acids that constitute the excess protein are removed and converted into urea or uric acid in a process known as deamination.

The remaining portion of the amino acids which is essentially carbon and hydrogen is converted into carbohydrate or fat and later oxidized to generate energy for the body.

pashok25 [27]

Most dietary <u>fats </u>are too large to be assimilated and absorbed into the capillaries but they are otherwise absorbed into the lacteals.

<h3>What are dietary fats?</h3>

Dietary fat is necessary for good health. It offers you strength and aids in the absorption of vitamins by your body. Dietary fat has about twice as much energy per gram as carbs and protein.

In the villi ( an organ in the small intestine) is located the lacteal which is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs and assimilates dietary fats. 

Most nutrients are also absorbed through the blood capillaries, but as for dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins, they are absorbed by the lacteals.

Suppose that a biologist states that the average height of undergraduate students at your university is 205 cm plus or minus a s
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

This means that the means height (which is all the sum of the height of all the students divided by their number ) is 205 cm. Standard deviation means how the height of the students deviates from this mean since students do vary in height and are not all the same height of 205 cm. Therefore, in this case, the amount of standard dispersion of the students' height is by 17 cm on either lower or higher side of the mean.
