Jake runs from work to his evening nutrition class, and has no time to eat. He is feeling hungry and weak because he hasn't eaten in about 5 hours. At this time, where is he getting the glucose required to meet his energy needs?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Energy storage molecules in the body

Explanation:

Energy in the body can come directly from glucose in the blood stream from meals or from the depletion of energy stores in the body. In Jake's case, the glucose his body uses during the journey to the evening class will likely be drawn from the breakdown of fatty acid molecules to liberate the energy currrency of the human physiology, ATP....the carbon chain may then be used to produce glucose for more energy equivalents.
