Interpretation:
Triacylglycerol is more efficient to store energy than as glycogen the reason for this should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-
Catabolism is a
In the catabolic process of fats, they are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol.
Glycogen is synthesized from glucose by the pathway of glycogenesis. Glycogen represents the principal storage form of carbohydrate in the body mainly in the liver and muscle.
