If an animal cell has excess energy, what is most likely to happen to this energy?

It will be considered waste.

It will be stored in high energy phosphate bonds.

It will be converted into starch.

It will be stored as fat molecules.

I'm pretty sure it's the last one.

It depends on how chronic this excess is - if it is of very short duration, the cell can make ATP, however, if the energy surplus continues, the best storage method is fat.

i'm 100% sure it is the last one

anonymous · Answer

its the last one.

see, when exess charbohydrate is taken then the excess energy is converted into fat by GLUCONEOGENESIS.

and, when excess protien is taken it is converted again into fat by LIPOGENESIS.

both this processes are performed by our LIVER.

It depends on the statis of the energy balance currently and in the immediate past.
