Breonna Jones is 16 years old, 5'4", and weighs 93 lb. She was admitted to an inpatient medical unit 2 days ago after collapsing at the local high school. Her parents knew she was skinny and had lost weight in the past few months, but had no idea that her life was in danger. The medical team has instituted treatment for anorexia nervosa. As you develop Breonna's nursing plan of care, you take into consideration the four major biological molecules that are building blocks of all cells
-You inform Breonna that it is important for her to maintain a diet rich in carbohydrates,lipids,and proteins,so that each of these macromolecules can be metabolized to form a high-energy compound called ________.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The high-energy compound formed by the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), not cGMP, RNA, or NAD. ATP is the cell's main source of energy and is essential for many cellular processes, including metabolism, muscle contraction, and nerve impulses. Therefore, it is important for Breonna to maintain a balanced diet that includes all three macromolecules to generate enough ATP for her body's needs.
