Question

for how many hours could an average person be sustained by the bodys stored glycogen under resting conditions?
24 hours
2 hours
12 - 14 hours
24 - 48 hours

Explanation:

Under resting conditions, the body's stored glycogen can sustain an average person for approximately 12 - 14 hours. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in the body. The body has limited glycogen stores, and at rest, the rate of glycogen utilization is relatively slow but still depletes the stores within this time frame. After glycogen stores are depleted, the body starts to use other energy sources like fat (through lipolysis) and protein (through gluconeogenesis in more prolonged fasting situations).

Answer:

12 - 14 hours
