What provides the most readily available energy?
Carbohydrates, as a class, provide the most readily available energy source for cells. The complex carbohydrates will split to simple sugars for immediate fuel.
Do we get most of our food energy from carbohydrates or proteins?
We get most of our "quick" energy from carbohydrates but also energy from proteins and fats.
Who produces highest amount of energy upon oxidation?
An energy substrate is term that is generally used to describe macronutrients. The three macronutrients that give the body energy from calories are proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In terms of energy per gram it is fat that provides the most energy giving the body a total of 9 calories per gram whereas proteins and carbohydrate only offer 4 calories per gram.
Most carbohydrates in the human body are?
Used as building blocks for protein
The three most abundant classes of nutrients are?
Protein, carbohydrates and lipids
Which two types of nutrient provide most of the energy in your diet?
Protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram and fats contain 9.2 calories per gram. If we are discussing fast energy transfer, simple carbohydrates and fats provide the most available energy
Which nutrient provides most energy in cheese?
protein protein
Which of the following provide the most readily available energy protein or carbohydrates?
Carbohidrates

What foods provides us with energy?
Fats - They provide energy to be stored in our bodies for when we most need it. Carbohydrates - The produce a quick release of energy. Protein - This controls your metabolic reactions so eating more of this will give you energy, as well as burn of some unwanted calories.

The nutrient that provides the greatest amount of energy per gram is?
In food, there are three macronutrients that provide energy. They are fat, carbohydrates, and protein. Fat is the nutrient that provides the greatest amount of energy at nine calories per gram. Protein and carbohydrates provide only four calories per gram.
Nutrients that supplies energy?
Although the body is able to use energy also from fat and protein, the most preffered nutrient for energy production in the body are carbohydrates.
Does carbohydrates provide the most energy?
It depends on the type of carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates (or sugars), such as glucose and fructose, are absorbed into the bloodstream and provide an immediate energy boost, and are the most quickly turned into energy. Other carbohydrates, such as starch, take more time to digest and are probably similar energy wise as protein or fats. However, as far as containing the most energy in a given amount, fats beat all carbohydrates and proteins by far.
What nutrients is the most important?
Withous water, humans (and all animals) perish quickly. After that, carbohydrates are needed for energy, followed by protein and essential fats, as well as needed vitamins and minerals. Water is the most important substance and it is found in most liquids and foods. Protein is very important for energy and healing. Fat is good for energy and carbohydrates are good for energy. So nutrient would have to be protein and substance would have to be water. The body is 60% water.
