Question 13

Why does your body store more energy as fat than as a carbohydrate? Compare the amount of ATP produced from carbohydrates to that produced from fats to support your answer. Use the data provided.
(The following information will help with your comparisons. Both fats and carbohydrates undergo catabolism to produce ATP energy. Fat (triglyceride) is hydrolyzed to form glycerol and three fatty acids. An 18-carbon fatty acid produces approximately 108 ATP molecules when broken down. Calculate the number of ATPs produced by a fat made of 3 fatty acids, each of 18 carbon. Compare to ATPs formed from one glucose.)
