Where does energy for the body come from?
The energy for your body usually comes from the foods that you eat. The calories in the food are broken down to carbohydrates to create energy so your body can use them.
When fasting what does the body use first for energy?
Protein
How is energy conserved when a car slows down?
Objects use more energy when increasing in speed or starting while objects use less energy while going at a steady pace.
What are the main uses of potential energy?
gravitational potential energy is basically gravity. Uses... Rain has gpe. We use it to get the rain down.
Explain the orignal source of energy for both coal and wind?
coal is broken up peaces of plants . And wind is driven by the sun. so this creates energy for every one in the world to use .xx
Are muscles or fats easily broken down to release energy?
the energy sources are, in order of use; sugars, fats and muscles. Easily broken down, yes.
What nutrient is the first to be broken down and absorbed for energy use in the body?
carboyhydrates
What are the carbohydrates called when broken down into smaller molecules?
Carbohydrates are generally broken down into glucose which your cells use as fuel. They can also be broken down into fructose and galactose.
What is protein broken into?
All nutrients are broken down into their respective monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood stream. The monomers of a protein are amino acids - this is what your body's cells use to build up other proteins.
What is a type of energy held in food until broken down by the body?
Fat is energy stored for use. Once your body breaks the fat down it becomes usable energy.
What is protein sparer?
It means that the presence of the carbohydrates, spare the use of protein for energy use. Hence protein is use for body-building and not use for energy-giving.
Is protein used for the energy storage in animals?
Primarily proteins are not used for energy storage. Proteins are primarily building material for the body. Energy is stored as fat and carbohydrates like glycogen. Energy for emmediate use is stored as ATP, but ATP is constantly reproduced by converting other energy to ATP. When other storages are empty, protein in body structures can however be broken down and used for energy. If the food contains little carbohydrates and little fat, protein in the food can be converted to fat and glycogen which then are stored for energy.
How does fats affect the body?
your body needs fat so that it can be broken down to use energy.
What nutrient is the first easiest to be broken down and absorbed for energy use in the body?
carboyhydrates
Does protein digestion use peptidase made in the small intestine?
The protein is first broken down by PEPSIN (made in the gastric glands) in the stomach and/or TRYPSIN (made in the pancreas) in the duodenum. The protein is now broken down into DIPEPTIDES. The dipeptides are now broken down by peptidase (made by the intestinal glands) in the small intestine. The dipeptide is now an AMINO ACID. It is then absorbed by the capillaries in the villi of the small intestine. Hope that helped :)
How does cell energy provide your body with energy?
breaks down amino acids and glucose Mitochondria use adenosine triphosphate to provide cellular energy, these molecules release bursts of energy as they are broken down.
How do you use the protein that you ingest?
you use the protein you ingest by using it for energy.
