Question 18

In what order does the body prefer to burn the macronutrients?

Answer 18

Carbohydrates, fat, protein.

Question 19

When proteins are eaten, they are broken down into their amino acids. If your cells are short on amino acids, what happens to the amino acids that come from the proteins you eat? What happens if your cells have plenty of amino acids?

Answer 19

If your cells do not have enough amino acids, the amino acids, the amino acids from the proteins you eat are sent to your cells so that our cells can make the proteins they need if your cells have plenty of amino acids, the amino acids from the proteins you eat are either burned for energy or converted into carbohydrates or fats

combustion
