Vedclass · Answer

(C) The body synthesizes fat when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. $1$. When blood glucose levels are high,the body first converts glucose into glycogen for storage in the liver and muscles. $2$. Once the storage capacity for glycogen in the liver and muscles is reached (saturated),the excess glucose is converted into fatty acids and stored as adipose tissue (fat). $3$. Therefore,when the storage of glycogen is full,the body shifts to lipogenesis to store excess energy as fat.
