Sariah Flynn · Answer 1

Answer: d. dismantling stored fat in fat cells and releasing components into blood.

Explanation:

Fat is a biomolecule which is concentrated as a source of energy. It is provides more than twice the potential energy as compared to proteins or carbohydrates. When the body experience the lack of energy and not enough energy is available from food source then the stored fat in triglycerides are broken into fatty acids and releasing the components into the blood.
