Step 1.The break-down of Triglycerides.
Step 2. Converting of Acetyl CoA
Step 3. Glycerol to Acetyl CoA.
Triglycerides are broken down into simpler pieces and is seperated. Glycerol and fatty acids will follow different paths of being converted in to Acetyl CoA.

When 1 gram of each what is metabolized which yields the greatest amount of energy?
FAT
Does fat release more energy when metabolized?
Fat is the richest source of all the macronutrients. One gram of fat contains 9 calories wheras the other macro nutrients like carbohydrates or protein give only 4 calories. So when fat is metabolized it gives in lot of energy.
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?
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~

What happen when the body is supply with more energy that it burn?
It stores the excess energy in the form of fat cells, to be metabolized when needed at a later time.
Why do human cells rely far more on glucose and fat for energy than on protein?
More energy is available to us aerobically (fat can only be metabolized aerobically), the high energy needs of endurance MORE
What happens to the fat released from its stores when you start exercising?
It is metabolized by the liver to be converted to simple sugars and used by the cells for energy.
Does alcohol have any nutritional values?
In a sense. Alcohol is metabolized into acetate by the liver, which is then burned for energy. However, it is burned in place of fat that would otherwise be metabolized. The fat is then stored (one cause of the famous "beer belly"). So, it does provide energy, but at the cost of screwing up your fat metabolism. Since the fat would have been burned in place of the acetate (were it not present) there is no real gain and considerable harm.
How sugar is used in the body?
Sugar is metabolized as a source of energy.
Is metabolizing fat a part of chemical change?
Yes. When fat is metabolized, it is broken down by a chemical reaction called hydrolysis.
When energy is ingested in excess of needs the excess?
It is stated that if the excess foods are ingested beyond the body's energy needs, the excess foods are then converted into fat. It is also stated that if insufficient calories are ingested then the deduction of energy is made up by oxidizing fat reserves.
Process by which the carbohydrates manufactured by photosynthesis are metabolized by an organism for energy?
Glycolysis
