You have a friend who became stranded in a blizzard without food for several weeks. This friend, when rescued, had lost about 7 kg (about 15 Ibs). As he was quite healthy to begin with, he assumed the weight he lost was stored fat, but he wondered where the fat had gone, How did the fat leave his body? a. It was converted to heat and then released. b. It was converted to ATP, which weighs much less than fat. c. It was released as CO2 (as he was breathing) and some as H20. d. It was broken down into animo acids and eliminated through the body. e. It was converted to urine and eliminated from the body.
