Which statement is FALSE?a. Excess carbohydrate is converted to glycogen or fat and stored. b. Protein is used to build muscles in response to exercise. c. Alcohol delivers calories and encourages fat storage. d. Any food can make you fat if you eat enough of it. e. Excess amino acids are stored in muscle to be used as energy.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option e. "Excess amino acids are stored in muscle to be used as energy".

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false to affirm that excess amino acids are stored in muscle to be used as energy. The liver controls that a proper concentration of amino acids are present in the body, if digesting proteins provoke an excess of amino acids, they are transported from the small intestine to the liver. Excess amino acids are not stored unlike fat and starch, excess amino acids are excreted from the liver to outside the body.
