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~

Special molecule that provides energy for a cells activities?
CH2O (glucose) is the most fundamental molecule metabolized by cells (in conjunction with Oxygen) for energy.
When 1 gram of each what is metabolized which yields the greatest amount of energy?
1 gram of fat yields the greatest amount of energy when metabolized, providing 9 calories, compared to 4 calories from 1 gram of carbohydrates or protein.
What molecule does a protein pump use for energy?
A protein pump, such as the sodium-potassium pump in cells, uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the molecule for energy. ATP provides the necessary energy for the pump to actively transport ions across the cell membrane.
What energy molecule is used to carry out phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is carried out using ATP as the energy molecule. ATP provides the energy needed for the formation of pseudopods and engulfment of the particle by the phagocyte.
What uses a protein to move a molecule across a membrane without energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
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
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.
In a protein complex for the light reaction why is energy transferred from pigment molecule to pigment molecule to a special chlorophyll a molecule and eventually to the primary electron acceptor?
Energy is transferred from pigment molecule to pigment molecule in the protein complex through resonance energy transfer, leading to excitation of a special chlorophyll a molecule called P680. This excitation of P680 causes the release of an electron, which is then transferred to the primary electron acceptor, initiating the electron transport chain in photosynthesis.
Do foods high in sugar give more energy than foods high in protein?
The answer to your question has a lot of variables and depends on the complete diet of the person and their lifestyle. However, the general answer is yes. Sugar is a carboyhdrate and more efficiently metabolized as an energy source than protein.
How many types of molecules can a carrier protein transport?
There are nine main types of energy. There are three main types of energy carriers; ATP, NADPH, and NADH. An energy carrier is a incredible molecule that, in itself, sends, receives, and carries.
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).
