What happens if you consume excess protein?

If individuals consume protein in excess of the amount needed, the extra protein will not be stored as protein. It will convert to fat and stored as fat.


Excess dietary protein is stored as protein in the liver and muscle is this true or false?

False


When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met the excess amino acids are metabolized and the energy in the molecule is?

Our bodies cannot store excess protein once it is consumed, so the excess amino acids are converted to carbon skeletons that are turned into glucose or fat and then stored as fat or metabolized for energy needs. **stored as glycogen & fat** jmata~


Excess carbohydrates are stored in humans as?

Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat.


When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met the excess amino acids are metabolized and the energy in the molecule is what?

The excess amino acids are metabolized in a process called deamination, where the amino group is removed and converted to ammonia. The remaining carbon skeleton is then converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis, or to fatty acids for storage. The energy stored in the excess amino acids is primarily in the form of ATP and is used for various cellular processes or stored as glycogen or fat.


What form are excess carbohydrates stored as in animals?

Excess carbs and calories are stored as fat.


Excess food eaten by humans is turned to fat and is considered what type of energy?

Excess food eaten by humans is turned to fat and is considered to be a protein type of energy. This will be stored and broken down when it is needed by the body cells.


What is excess energy stored as?

Excess energy is typically stored as either fat in adipose tissue or as glycogen in the liver and muscles.


If someone consumes excess energy from protein the extra protein is used for?

The extra amount of protein can either be metabolized, stored as triacylglycerol in the fat stores or excreted by the urine (most likely to happen if your eat more than 3.0 g/day/body weight).


When energy yielding nutrients are consumed in excess which one can lead to storage of fat?

Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.


Where are excess nutrients stored in the body?

Excess nutrients are primarily stored in the form of adipose tissue (body fat) for long-term energy storage. Some nutrients, such as glycogen and certain vitamins and minerals, may also be stored in the liver and muscles for short-term use.


Are there any problems with excess stored iron in the body?

It has been theorized that excess stored iron can lead to atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease.
