Franthrough processes such as protein synthesis and glycogen storage. Amino acids are used to build proteins needed for cell structure and function, while sugars are either used for energy production or stored as glycogen for later use. Both processes are tightly regulated to maintain cell function and overall health.

Which organelle is responsible for break down of fatty acids to sugars?
Whereas the evidence for conversion of sugars to fatty acids is well established in biochemistry, no such evidence for the reverse, i.e. conversion of fatty acids to sugars, is compelling. So, I would say that there is NO organelle known to be responsible for break down of fatty acids to sugars.
Why does none reducing sugar turns purple or mauve?
The Maillard reaction, which is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars, can cause a purple or mauve color to develop in certain foods. This reaction occurs when reducing sugars and amino acids are present together at high temperatures, leading to the formation of pigmented compounds that produce the purple or mauve color.
What type of molecule is the facilitator in facilitated diffusion?
Sugars and amino acids.
What Starches are to simple sugars as proteins are to?
Proteins are to amino acids. Just like starches are broken down into simple sugars, proteins are broken down into their building blocks - amino acids - during digestion. These amino acids are then used by the body for various functions, including building and repairing tissues.
