Question

Part D Metabolism During the Absorptive State During the absorptive state, metabolism adjusts to either provide energy for immediate use or store excess energy to be used later Drag the appropriate items into their respective bins. Hints Reset Help Glucose is used as the primary fuel for energy Amino acids from the amino acid pool are used to synthesize proteins. Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle Dietary carbohydrate from a meal is digested and absorbed as monosaccharides, mainly glucose Excess glucose is converted to fatty acids and stored as part of the riglyceride molecule in adipose issue. Dietary protein from a meal is digested and absorbed as single amino acids. Excess fatty acids combine with glycerol to form triglycerides, which are stored in adipose tissues. Fatty acids are used as fuel sources for some tissues. Anabolic Processes Catabolic Processes Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

Anabolic Processes:

1) Amino acid from the amino acid pool are used to synthesize proteins.

2) Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle.

3) Excess glucose is converted to fatty acids and stored as part of the triglyceride molecule in adipose tissue.

4) Excess fatty acids combine with glycerol to form triglycerides, which are stored in adipose tissues.

All other process are catabolic in nature.
