a question

[Distortion]

my friend asked me a question but i didn't know how to answer it


-why is a fat a better storage molecule than starch

i have a general idea but i'm not sure

 

[cytrix]

the amount of glycogen in the body is limited, whereas fat can be stored pretty much unlimited, as we have all seen . the total amount of glycogen is under 2lbs., depending on the size of the muscles.

fat also has a much higher energy yeild then glycogen does
