Ketone Bodies are Associated with Cellular Metabolism Of

Question

Ketone bodies are associated with cellular metabolism of:
A)fats.
B)carbohydrates.
C)proteins.
D)vitamins.

Accepted Answer

Ketone bodies are produced as a result of the breakdown of fats (lipids) in cellular metabolism. When the body does not have enough glucose (carbohydrates) to use for energy, it shifts to using fats as an energy source, resulting in the production of ketone bodies. Proteins and vitamins are not directly associated with the production of ketone bodies.
