• Fasting: Stored nutrients provide energy during fasting.
• Energy Reserves: Nutrients are stored as energy reserves in the body for future use.
• Hibernation: Animals store nutrients to survive during hibernation.
• Starvation: Stored nutrients are used during periods of starvation or fasting.
• Nutrient Cycling: Stored nutrients are released through decomposition, contributing to nutrient cycling.
• Seed Dormancy: Seeds store nutrients to support germination and early growth.
• Metabolic Adaptation: The body adapts its metabolism to utilize stored nutrients efficiently.
• Glycogen: Glycogen is a form of stored carbohydrate in animals and humans.
