Question 3 • PA Human Anatomy & Physiology A 2026-2027 SMITH IC

What will most likely happen if a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates?

Answer
A
The body will break down chitin from the bones.
B
The body will break down glycogen from the liver.
C
The body will break down glucose from the blood.
D
The body will break down galactose from the pancreas.

Explanation

When carbohydrate intake is too low, the body helps maintain blood sugar by breaking down stored glycogen, especially in the liver, into glucose. Chitin is not stored in bones, and the pancreas does not store galactose. Therefore, the best choice is “The body will break down glycogen from the liver.”
