Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.86CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The storage of excess energy as glycogen or triacylglycerides should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
Hydrolysis: The reaction in which chemical compound is breakdown in presence of water is termed as hydrolysis. Here water serves as one reactant.
