Document Summary

Fats, carbs, and proteins are used for energy or to build structures. Metabolism is defined as the chemical changes that occure within a cell to either manufacture energy, store energy, or build new cell structures. Two types of metabolism: anabolism creation of large molecules from small ones with the use of energy (atp, catabolism breakdown of large molecules into small ones resulting in release of e. Triglycerides make up most of the fat found in the body, consists of three fatty acid chains attached to one molecule of glycerol. Protein long chains of amino acids. Once these are in the body, some may partially reform while others stay as building blocks. Carbs stored in muscle and liver as glycogen. Fats triglycerides inside fatty tissue (adipose tissue) Amino acids structural or functional proteins inside muscle cells. All molecules can be used to produce energy in the form of atp.
