The Most Highly Concentrated Source of Chemical Energy Found in the Human

Question

The most highly concentrated source of chemical energy found in the human body is found in
A)proteins
B)amino acids
C)glycogen
D)triglycerides
E)glucose

Accepted Answer

Triglycerides are the most highly concentrated source of chemical energy in the human body. When broken down, they yield a large quantity of ATP, the molecule that provides energy for cellular processes. While proteins, amino acids, glycogen, and glucose can also be used for energy, they do not provide as much energy per unit as triglycerides.
