Energy drinks such as Monster and 5-Hour Energy are used to advertise an immediate boost in energy levels upon consumption. What process is occurring more readily to account for this increase in available energy? The breakdown of nucleic acid molecules into nucleotides The building of proteins The breakdown of disaccharides into monosaccharides that can be used in cellular respiration O The formation of lipids from glycerol and fatty acids
