If a person did not eat for several days, which sequence of events would occur?
a. glycogen stores would be depleted first, then structural proteins, and then stored lipids.
b. lipid stores would be depleted first, then stored glycogen, and then structural proteins.
c. proteins stores would be depleted first, then stored lipids, and then stored glycogen.
d. glycogen stores would be depleted first, then stored lipids, and then structural proteins. whats the answer

D) Because think about it logically. Glycogen stores are filled with glucose which both the brain and mitochondria need to function. The mitochondria break the chemical bonds in glucose creating Atp (cell's form of energy). The lipids go next as a potential energy source since lipids are generally used for creating cell membranes, communication between cells and storing energy they don't affect any major bodily functions. Finally structural proteins are broken down for resources as the body has depleted all energy sources it literally absorbs it's own muscle tissue to try to sustain the brain.
