Question:medium

The excess energy consumed is stored in the body in the form of collagen protein.

Show Hint

Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen only up to a limited capacity ($\approx 400\text{g}$ in muscles and $\approx 100\text{g}$ in the liver). Any excess carbohydrate intake beyond this storage capacity is converted into triglycerides through de novo lipogenesis and stored permanently in fat cells.
