question 14
short bouts of energy utilizes what energy source?
○ amino acids
○ protein
○ glucose
○ fatty acids
For short - term energy needs (short bouts of energy use), the body primarily uses glucose. Glucose is readily available and can be quickly metabolized to provide energy. Amino acids are mainly used for protein synthesis and not the primary energy source for short - term energy. Protein is broken down into amino acids and is more of a long - term or emergency energy source. Fatty acids are used for longer - term energy storage and utilization, as the process of breaking down fats to release energy is relatively slower compared to using glucose.
