Red platelets depend on glucose for energy and convert glucose to lactate. The cerebrum utilizes glucose and ketone bodies for energy. Fat tissue utilizes unsaturated fats and glucose for energy. The liver principally utilizes unsaturated fat oxidation for energy
Red blood cells rely on glucose for energy and convert glucose to lactate. The brain uses glucose and ketone bodies for energy. Adipose tissue uses fatty acids and glucose for energy. The liver primarily uses fatty acid oxidation for energy. hopes this helps
<span>Fatty Acid- consists of a straight chain of an even # of carbon atoms, w/ hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain & a carboxyl group at the other end of it. I hoped this helped!</span>
