When an animal starts breaking down body fat to compensate for a caloric deficiency in its diet, ________ are released into the bloodstream.
A. Ketones
B. Monosaccharides
C. Polysacchaides
D. Amino Acids
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. When an animal starts breaking down body fat to compensate for a caloric deficiency in its diet, amino acids are released into the bloodstream. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
I took the test and 'Amino Acids' was incorrect. Ketones are formed from the breakdown of the tissue and are released into the bloodstream, also known as ketonemia.
