Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Leukocytes are not associated with the breakdown of fatty acids for fuel.
Rationale 2: Protein in the blood does not occur because fatty acids are being broken down for fuel.
Rationale 3: Glucose in the blood does not occur because fatty acids are being broken down for fuel.
Rationale 4: When the body must metabolize fatty acids for fuel, ketones accumulate in the blood.
Global Rationale: When the body must metabolize fatty acids for fuel, ketones accumulate in the blood. Leukocytes, protein in the blood, and glucose in the blood do not occur because fatty acids are being used for fuel.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Glucose that is not needed for immediate energy needs is not stored as muscle tissue.
Rationale 2: The storage form of glucose is called glycogen.
Rationale 3: Glucose that is not needed for immediate energy needs is not stored as fat.
Rationale 4: Glucose that is not needed for immediate energy needs is not stored as glucagon.
