acetyl-CoA
lactate
lipid
glucose
Which of the following is an important reason that the body prefers to store dietary fat over carbs and proteins when excess kcals are ingested?
components of carbs and amino acids are important elsewhere in the body
fats provide more kcals per gram than carbs or proteins
excess adipose tissue is easier to convert to glucose later on
there are more enzymes for fat conversion than there are for other macros

yes
no
under certain conditions

excrete it via the kidneys
What is the THiRD way the body would try to handle excess carbohydrate intake?
store in muscles and liver as glycogen
increase glucose oxidation rates
