Summary Introduction

To review:

That the statement Fat breakdown without carbohydrate causes ketones to build up in the tissue and blood and be excreted in the urine is true or false.

Introduction:

It can also dissolve in water which makes it water soluble and can be excreted out from the body by the urinary system.
