Animals: energy is found in chemical bonds of consumed food substrates (energy input) Energy contained in nutrients is measured in kilocalories (calories) **need to know these 3 numbers*: carbs= 4kcals/gram, proteins= 4kcals/gram, lipids= 9kcals/gram. Carbohydrates: important in diet as the preferred source of products for atp, stored in liver as glycogen. Can be broken down into glucose if blood sugar is too low. Can be stored in muscle as a local supply when energy production is necessary. Lipids: diverse group, largest atp production for any of the macronutrients. Proteins: last resort to be used in generation of atp, consume protein which is broken down into amino acids in the small intestine. Building blocks are then used to generate new proteins in the cells. Input > distribution in body > output. Expenditure comes in two forms: external work.
