Interpretation:
The tissue that provide the largest energy supple in a well-nourished human should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The amount of energy required to balance the energy loss to maintain the body size, composition, and level of physical activity, is termed as energy requirement. Energy in the human body is derived from macronutrients, such as, carbohydrates, fats, ethanol, and proteins.
Answer to Problem 1P
Option (d), adipose tissue.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Option (d) is adipose tissue. Adipose tissue stores large amounts of fats and lipids molecules in it. These
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option (a) is liver. Liver
Option (b) is muscles. Muscles use glucose and fats to produce energy and perform activities. It is not the reservoir of the energy. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (c) is brain. Brain is the organ in human body, that uses largest amount of energy produced by the body. Hence, this option is incorrect.
