Ideas in this flowchart

  • Mobilization and breakdown of fat for energy production
  • Energy demand exceeds the fuel available from a recent meal or glycogen reserves are exhausted
  • Energy requirements exceed the fuel available from a recent meal
  • Extended physical activity exhausts glycogen energy reserves
  • Fat reserves are retrieved for energy utilization
  • Adipose tissue dismantles its triglycerides
  • Glycerol and fatty acids are released directly into the blood
  • Energy-hungry cells break these substances into tiny fragments
  • The fragments undergo chemical reactions that yield energy, carbon dioxide, and water

"When a person’s energy requirements exceed the amount of available fuel presented from a recent meal or extended physical activity has exhausted glycogen energy reserves, fat reserves are retrieved for energy utilization. As the body calls for additional energy, the adipose tissue responds by dismantling its triglycerides and dispensing glycerol and fatty acids directly into the blood. Upon receipt of these substances the energy-hungry cells break them down further into tiny fragments. These fragments go through a series of chemical reactions that yield energy, carbon dioxide, and water."
