Tau is a protein found in neurons, where it works to stabilize the shape and function of the cell. As part of normal function, proteins in the body fold, unfold and refold into different shapes in order to perform specific functions, and when they are no longer needed, they are broken down and recycled by the cell.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: sugars such as glucose and fructose are broken down by glycolysis, TCA and the ETC to yield ATP. Fatty acids are degraded by beta oxidation and TCA /ETC to yield ATP. Proteins are degraded to amino acids and the amino acids can be stripped of their amino group and the carbon skeleton used for energy via linking to the TCA/ETC. So simply put, carbohydrates, fats, and protein can be degraded to produce ATP. Source(s): Ph.D.
