Question 33 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Biology in the Living Earth

Which statement correctly describes what proteins, lipids, and glycogen have in common?

Answer
A
They are all used as primary energy sources during exercise.
B
They are each stored in the liver to be used as a ready energy reserve.
C
They each can be broken down to provide ATP to cells.
D
They each contain the same amount of ATP.

Explanation

Proteins, lipids, and glycogen can all be broken down through metabolic processes that help cells produce ATP, their usable energy molecule. They are not all primary energy sources during exercise, and they are not all stored in the liver: lipids are stored mainly in fat tissue, while glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles. They also do not contain the same amount of ATP.
