Energy can be made available to the body in the following ways :(I) Conversion of surplus amino acids and glycerol to blood glucose and mobilization of fat deposits which pass to the tissue for oxidation .(II) Breakdown of liver and muscle glycogen to form glucose .(III) Tissue protein to release aminoacids which are then converted into glucose in which order does the body draw on potential energy when it is being starved of food?
Correct answer: C. II -> I -> III
- A. I -> II -> III
- B. I -> III -> II
- C. II -> I -> III
- D. II -> III -> I
- E. III -> I -> II
Explanation
This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
