What else can I help you with?
Why are vitamins important?
They help release energy stored in other nutrients.
Which energy yielding nutrients lead to storage of body fat?
Any energy-yielding nutrients that are ingested in excess will be stored as body fat.
When energy-yielding nutrients are consumed in excess which ones can lead to storage of fat?
Energy-yielding nutrients consumed in excess, particularly carbohydrates and fats, can lead to storage of fat. When these nutrients are not utilized as immediate energy, they are converted and stored as fat in the body for later use.
A nutrient that helps release energy stored in other nutrients is called a?
Vitamin
What is the proximate level of the body's organization that utilizes the energy stored nutrients?
Cell
What is the term of the ability of the cell to transform nutrients into energy?
Mitochondria generate the cell's energy by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients
What organism that used energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to manufacture their own nutrients?
Plants! :D
What are organisms that used energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to manufacture their own nutrients?
Plants! :D
Which process does A living organism uses to release stored chemical energy from nutrients?
A living organism uses the process of cellular respiration to release stored chemical energy from nutrients. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
When energy yielding nutrients are consumed in excess which one can lead to storage of fat?
Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.
Why do eukaryotic cells require mitochondria?
As an energy source (NOTE there re exceptions).They need energy for functioning. This energy is generated by mitochondria
Are stored by the body as energy reserves?
Excess nutrients are stored in the body as energy reserves in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver, and as triglycerides in adipose tissue. These reserves can be used by the body when needed for energy production.
