Question

If you only had butter containing only lipids to eat, how would your body respond?
1) It would use a different preparatory system than glycolysis before the citric acid cycle.
2) It would rely on the large amount of glucose in the blood for your day's needs.
3) It would use alcoholic fermentation.
4) It would use lactic acid fermentation.

If you only had butter containing only lipids to eat, your body would respond in the following way:

1) It would use a different preparatory system than glycolysis before the citric acid cycle: When the body is consuming a high amount of lipids, it would undergo a process called β-oxidation, which breaks down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle directly to produce energy.

2) It would rely on the large amount of glucose in the blood for your day's needs: While lipids would be the primary source of energy, the body would still rely on glucose in the bloodstream for its energy needs. However, this may vary depending on the individual's specific metabolic condition.

3) It would not use alcoholic fermentation: Alcoholic fermentation is a metabolic process that occurs in certain microorganisms and some plant tissues, primarily yeast. It does not occur in human cells as a primary source of energy.

4) It would not use lactic acid fermentation: Lactic acid fermentation occurs when there is a lack of oxygen in muscle cells, leading to the conversion of pyruvate into lactic acid. However, in the case of consuming only lipids, the body would not rely on lactic acid fermentation as the primary energy pathway.
