HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -After a meal, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, an immediate source of energy. Excess glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen or, with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Excess calories from fat and protein consumption are also stored as fat in the body. Adipose cells, or fat cells, store excess calories as triglycerides, a kind of fatty acid. Fat cells, or adipocytes, are the primary cells responsible for fat accumulation in their triglyceride form.
