Which one of the following statements is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The brain does prefer glucose as its main energy source, but it can use ketone bodies as an alternative energy source during times of low glucose availability, such as during fasting or a low-carbohydrate diet. The other answer choices are false. Muscle can use fatty acids as an energy source, and in fact, they are a preferred energy source during endurance exercise. In a well-fed human, a greater amount of energy is typically stored as triacylglycerol in adipose tissue rather than glycogen in the liver and muscles. Fatty acids can be used as an energy source in humans through beta-oxidation in the mitochondria, and while amino acids can be used for energy, they are not a preferred energy source over fatty acids.
