Fat mobilization is the breakdown of fats in adipose tissue into metabolic products that enter the bloodstream. Place the steps of fat mobilization in order. You will not use all the steps (some have incorrect information).

1. Body needs energy for activity

Fatty acids transported to tissue

The choices to go in between the top are:

body releases epinephrine

glycerol is transported by LDL to liver for processing

triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are degraded to phosphate and three fatty acids

triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acids

metabolic products enter bloodstream

epinephrine binds to fat cells in adipose tissue

insulin stimulates fat mobilization
