Remarkable Body

- In the stomach, this nutrient gets digested more

than other nutrients.                                                                               What is protein?

- This is made in the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and released

liver and muscle tissues for 4-6 hours.                                                     What is glycogen?

Final Jeopardy
