Question
Chapter 3, Problem 2AC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The interaction of carbohydrates and fats with water. The reason that interaction with water gives fat an advantage or edge over carbohydrates for weight-efficient energy storage.
Introduction:
The interaction of carbohydrates and fats with water is fundamentally different. This difference arises due to the difference in their chemical structures. The chemical structures of carbohydrates and fats are also related to their energy storage capacity.
