CELLULAR RESPIRATION OF PROTEINS AND FATS Cells degrade mostly glucose to release energy. However cells can oxidize and degrade other food molecules such as proteins and fats to release energy. METABOLISM OF PROTEINS:  Proteins are broken down into AMINO ACIDS  AMINO GROUP is removed from amino acids forming AMMONIA and the remaining molecule enters the KREBS CYCLE  Entry point to the krebs cycle depends on the NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS of the entering molecule eprepare.org
