Question

A constant availability of fuels in the blood is called ____ and the order of preference for fuel usage is ____.
A) phosphorylation potential; glycogen> triacylglycerols> protein
B) fuel dynamics; triacylglycerols> glycogen> protein
C) metabolic regulation; triacylglycerols> glycogen> protein
D) caloric homeostasis; glycogen> triacylglycerols> protein
E) none are true

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Caloric homeostasis refers to the maintenance of energy balance in the body, ensuring a constant supply of fuels in the blood. The body prefers to use glycogen first, followed by triacylglycerols (fats), and finally protein, making option D correct.
