Putting Energy in the Bank
complex food matter is broken down into its simplest parts (molecules): amino acids (the building blocks of Protein), simple sugars like Glucose (the building blocks of more complex sugars and of starches [carbohydrates]), and free fatty acids and glycerol (the constituents of fat). (Location 1002)
⇒ Aminosäure, amino acid
⇒
the cells have the ability to use those building blocks to construct the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates needed to stay in business. And just as important, those simple building blocks (especially the fatty acids and sugars) can also be burned by the body to provide the energy to do all that construction and to operate those new structures afterward.

⇒ Foam Cells
Enzymees in fat cells can combine fatty acids and glycerol to form triglycerides (Location 1016)
