Amino acids produce more ATP than glucose or fatty acid can generate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amino acids do not produce more ATP than glucose or fatty acids. In fact, glucose is the primary source of energy for the body and can produce more ATP per molecule than amino acids. Fatty acids can also produce large amounts of ATP through the process of beta-oxidation. Amino acids can be used for energy, but they are primarily used for protein synthesis and other important cellular functions.
