Instead of relying on that comes from carbohydrates, it relies on ketone bodies, a type of fuel that the liver produces from stored. The process inside the YELLOW window is called cellular, which takes place (mainly) in the (the name of an organelle) because it is the cell's "powerhouse". glycogen CHO Glucose Fat Protein CO2 + H2O ketone bodies
