Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When you consume more food than your body needs for ATP production, the excess nutrients, particularly carbohydrates and fats from the cake, are stored for later use. The body converts excess glucose into fat through processes like lipogenesis, leading to the building of fats. Glycolysis does not necessarily speed up because it is regulated by the cell's energy needs, and proteins are typically not broken down for energy when there is an excess of carbohydrates and fats.
