Question

what happens to excess carbohydrates in animals?
○ they are stored as fat.
○ they are stored as protein.
○ they are stored in nucleic acids.
○ they are stored as sugar.

Explanation:

In animal metabolism, excess carbohydrates (after meeting immediate energy needs and storing some as glycogen) are converted and stored as fat. Proteins are for structural/functional roles, nucleic acids for genetic info, and sugar storage is short - term (like glycogen), but long - term excess carbs become fat. So the correct option is the one stating they are stored as fat.

Answer:

A. They are stored as fat.
