Fats contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They have a high proportion of hydrogen which makes them a more concentrated form of energy than either carbohydrates or protein. Each gram of fat or oil produces about 9 Calories of energy. Fats are the primary source of energy during prolonged aerobic exercise. The release of energy from fat requires more oxygen than the release of the same amount of energy from carbohydrates. Fat metabolism therefore puts a greater strain on the oxygen transport system.

Why is an herbivores diet more energy efficient than a carnivores diet Explain why?
a herbiorous diet be argued as being more energy efficient tnan a carnivores
Is it more efficient use of the Sun's energy for people to eat beef or salmon?
It's more efficient to eat cow because cows feed on plants which will have more energy than the salmon has, since salmon feed on smaller fishs which will make it have less energy than beef does.
A Company which uses more than one mode of transport will often locate near?
An abundant energy source.
What type of energy do more efficient light bulb produce?
A greater percentage of light, and a smaller percentage of infrared radiation and heat.
Why are freezers more efficient if their doors are kept closed as much as possible?
Because then they are colder and their energy is conserved more as the outside world should (!) be warmer than a freezer.
Which is the most energy efficient mode of transport to get to the school?
Walking or going on a bicycle, if it is reasonably close. Otherwise, a school bus or public transportation is more energy efficient, because a bus takes many people at once.
Why is glycogen branched?
Glycogen is branched to allow more efficient energy storage and to provide multiple attachment points for enzymes that add to its glucose monomers.
Which type of oven is more energy efficient...gas or electric?
Gas ovens are generally more efficient with energy consumption.
Where can I read about energy efficient air conditioners (industrial)?
To read more about energy efficient air conditioners, go to wikipedia and look up Energy star. This will give you information on how and why a unit will be more energy efficient and "green".
What does percentage energy efficiency mean?
I would assume it means that the more efficient it is, the less energy it intakes and the more efficient the system is at retaining the energy it intakes.
Is plastics recycling energy efficient?
It is only a little more energy efficient than creating new plastic. Aluminum recycling, though, is 90% more energy efficient than making new aluminum for bauxite.
Is wind energy efficient?
yes, but not as efficient as other sources that polute more
What is the best way to make my home energy efficient?
Using a more efficient washer and dryer along with an energy efficient dishwasher will save a good amount of money as well as changing to energy efficient bulbs.
Which green models are more energy efficient Maytag or General Electric?
General Electric has many models that are more energy efficient than Maytag.
Why is an herbivoreous diet more energy efficient than a carnivorous diet?
a herbiorous diet be argued as being more energy efficient tnan a carnivores
Why do animals use lipids instead of carbohydrates as energy-storing molecules?
Lipids have around twice the energy density of carbohydrates, so they are a more efficient means of storage (i.e. only half the mass is needed to store an equivalent amount of energy).
Who is more efficient energy converter a rat or dog?
dog is more efficient than rat,dog has a lot of energy than a rat....i hope help this answer
