The process of glucose being made from protein or fat is called gluconeogenesis. The glucose is then used to provide energy to the brain and nervous system.

What is the term that refers to the production of new glucose from the breakdown of protein?

Gluconeogenesis is the term that refers to the production of new glucose from the breakdown of protein or other non-carbohydrate sources like amino acids.


Which Energy system uses glucose fat and protein fuel?

The aerobic energy system uses glucose, fat, and protein as fuel sources. Glucose and fat are the primary sources of energy, while protein can be used as a last resort if the other sources are depleted. This system requires oxygen to efficiently produce energy through the process of cellular respiration.


Are soybeans saturated fat unsaturated fat protein glucose starch or cellulose?

Soybeans are primarily composed of unsaturated fats, along with a significant amount of protein. They contain very little saturated fat and are low in carbohydrates, which include some starch but not significant amounts of glucose or cellulose. Overall, soybeans are valued for their high protein and healthy fat content.


How does the body convert protein into glucose for energy production?

During a process called gluconeogenesis, the body converts protein into glucose for energy production. This occurs when the body needs glucose but does not have enough from carbohydrates. The liver and kidneys play a key role in this process by breaking down amino acids from proteins to create glucose molecules.


Amino acids have three eventual fates in the body?

Amino acids can be used to build new proteins, they can be converted to glucose for energy production, or they can be converted to fat for energy storage.


Is it true that excess protein turns to fat?

Yes. Excess everything in your diet gets turned to fat. The body uses a carb called glucose to power everything. All carbs are eventually broken down into glucose like molecules (except cellulose). If you aren't getting enough carbs in your diet then your liver starts making glucose from protein by a process called gluconeogensis. The excess glucose produced will then be turned into fat. Long term high protein low carb diets will deprive your body of the nutrients it needs by converting all the nutrients into glucose.


What is energy stored as in your bodies?

fat in adipose tissue, carbohydrate in the form of glycogen, and protein which can convert to glucose.
