After the expedition, Odell was privately certain that Mallory and Irvine had reached the summit of Mount Everest. Key to this belief was the spot where he had seen the two climbers, and his evaluation of their fitness and strength.
Carbohydrate is stored in limited amounts as blood glucose, liverglycogen, and muscle glycogen. The largest amount of energy isstored in the body as fats. Fats are stored as triglycerides in bothmuscle tissue and adipose (fat) tissue; triglycerides and free fattyacids (FFA) in the blood are a limited supply.
Glucose is stored as fat once the glycogen stores are full. The body uses these glycogen stores as an energy source when it needs more glucose than is available in the bloodstream. All living cells in the body contain glucose, which enters the cells through the hormone insulin.
