What does the liver convert all excess energy-containing nutrients into?

The liver converts excess energy-containing nutrients, such as carbohydrates, into glycogen for short-term energy storage. When glycogen stores are full, the liver then converts excess nutrients into triglycerides for long-term energy storage as fat.


Part of a plant that serves as a center for absorption and food storage?

The roots of a plant serve as a center for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Additionally, the roots act as a storage organ for excess nutrients and energy in the form of starch.


Where are excess nutrients stored in the body?

Excess nutrients are stored as fat and glycogen. There is no storage form of a similar nature for protein, but fasting mobilizes amino acids from muscle that would later be replenished or rebuilt over time. Similarly bone will leach calcium and minerals but that deficit creates a 'debt' to those tissues that the body will try to repay when concentrations of precursors rise again.


What happens if there are excess nutrients in our bodies?

Excess nutrients in the body can lead to various health issues. For example, excess sugar can contribute to insulin resistance and diabetes, excess fat can lead to obesity and heart disease, and excess vitamins or minerals can cause toxicity. It is important to maintain a balanced diet to avoid these problems.


What is the storage form of glucose in the human body?

The human body stores excess glucose as glycogen. The storage areas for glycogen are limited, therefore any carbohydrates that are consumed beyond that capacity is stored as fat, of which the body can store an unlimited amount.

When consumed in excess of body needs which nutrient is converted in storage compounds such as body fat?

All three macro nutrients - fats, carbohydrates, and proteins can and are converted to stored fat. Many protein supplements claim that "excess" protein just passes through and a fair amount does - while causing excess work and potential harm to the liver and kidneys. Across the board though all of the three main macro nutrients can be converted by the liver for storage in fat cells.


Which energy yielding nutrients lead to storage of body fat?

What vitamins and minerals are bad for you in overdose?

Yes. However so is extreme excess or deficiency of them also, which is why vitamins are essential nutrients. The body requires only small amounts of them.

When food is consumed any excess energy is stored as fat in the .?

When food is consumed, any excess energy is stored as fat in the adipose tissue. Adipose tissue serves as a reservoir for energy, helping to maintain energy balance in the body. This storage mechanism is crucial for survival, providing a source of energy during times of fasting or low food availability.


What happens to the absorbed nutrients in the body?

It is assimilated into the body to bcm part of several tissues, some is used 4 respirtion, some such as fatty acids and glycerol r converted into lipids s ft reserve if consumed in excess. In case of glucose excess i converted into glycogen by insulin hormone 4 storage in the Iver til its needed 4 use in bdy (coverted bk 2 glucose by glucagon hormone).
