Question 12

Why store energy as fat

Answer 12

More calories per kg, so less added weigth

Question 13

In fed state,

Cellular respiration occurs in all cells
Triglycerides to adipose tissue
glucose to liver, muscles, and adipose tissue

Question 14

Major fasting energy source

Answer 14

Hepatic glycogenolysis (breakdown of liver glycogen)

Question 33

After about 2 days of starvation
