If fat in the body is not broken down and used for energy, it is stored in adipose tissue. This storage occurs mainly in fat cells, which can expand as more fat is accumulated. Over time, excessive fat storage can lead to obesity and associated health issues, such as cardiovascular disease and Diabetes. Additionally, the body may rely on other energy sources, like carbohydrates and proteins, but prolonged reliance on stored fat can affect metabolic health.
What else can I help you with?
Why must be food be broken down in your body?
Fat reserves in the body can be mobilized and broken down to release energy.
How are fat broken down?
Fats are broken down by the body into glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are then broken down to glucose to provide the body with energy.
How does fats affect the body?
your body needs fat so that it can be broken down to use energy.
What is a type of energy held in food until broken down by the body?
Fat is energy stored for use. Once your body breaks the fat down it becomes usable energy.
Do you fart out fat?
No, you do not fart out fat. Farting is the release of gas from the digestive system, while fat is stored in the body and broken down through metabolism.
Is body fat sugar?
Body fat is not sugar. Body fat is stored energy in the form of triglycerides, which are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. Sugar, on the other hand, refers to simple carbohydrates that are broken down into glucose for energy.
What enzymes break down protein and fat?
Proteins are broken down by enzymes called proteases, such as pepsin and trypsin. Fats are broken down by enzymes called lipases, such as pancreatic lipase. These enzymes help to break down proteins and fats into smaller molecules for absorption in the body.
What happens when you have no fat?
If you had no body fat, you would die. Everybody has (and needs!) body fat.
What is an oxidized fat?
An oxidized fat is fat that has been broken down so as to release energy. The body is designed in such a manner that it can oxidize fats.
How does fat turn into sugar in the body?
When the body needs energy, it can convert fat into sugar through a process called gluconeogenesis. This occurs in the liver, where fat molecules are broken down into smaller components that can be used to make glucose, the body's primary source of energy.
Which of the following macromolecules can't be broken down in the body and used to produce ATP proteins vitamins carbohydrates or fat?

What happens to body fat when you lose weight and how does the body process it?
When you lose weight, your body breaks down fat stores for energy. This process is called lipolysis. The fat molecules are released into the bloodstream and transported to the liver, where they are converted into energy or excreted from the body.
