If there is a shortage of glucose in the body, the body then utilizes fats as a source of ATP. Though ATP production from the metabolism of fats is significantly higher than carbohydrates, lipid metabolism is harmful for the long run. What is the eventual number of ATP molecules produced during the metabolism of lipids and why is using lipids as the primary energy source harmful? Write brief sentences.
