in fasted states (or when you have used your glycogen stores), glucagon or adrenaline can breakdown stored triglycerides (in adipose tissue) into glycerol and fatty acids.
The glycerol goes to the liver when it is involved in gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from non-carb source).
This is essentially a reversal of glycolysis:
The glycerol molecule is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which then is converted to fructose 1,6 biphosphate and then after a number of steps, is converted to glucose.
I dont think the glycerol molecule is converted to pyruvate, but instead joins in the pathway at the step decribed above.

What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
What are the production of glucose and protein or fat?
The process of glucose being made from protein or fat is called gluconeogenesis. The glucose is then used to provide energy to the brain and nervous system.
Where is glucose stored in a cell?
glucose is stored in fat it is not stored as anything else other than glucose in fat. This is why people are fat because they take in too much glucose and it is not burned off through exercise so instead of the body wasting it, it stores it as fat
Which of these is an important carbohydrates found in living organisms protein DNA glucose or fat?
Glucose.
What are cells able to convert stored fat into?
energy
When the demand for energy is low animals convert what?
When the demand for energy is low, animals convert glucose to glycogen to fat. Glucose is sometimes referred to as grape sugar or D-glucose.
Glucose is converted into?
Either into energy OR into fat. By animals. Plants can convert it into anything they need.
What process do animals used to convert glucose into a usable energy ATP for the cells?
fat burn
What is energy stored as in your bodies?
fat in adipose tissue, carbohydrate in the form of glycogen, and protein which can convert to glucose.
When blood glucose levels decrease what reserves are tapped?
When blood glucose levels drop, it is vital for the body to help stabilize them prevent fainting. The body will take fat reserves and convert them to glucose to do this.
Does DNA convert into glucose?
No. It does not.
What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
Is glucose a fat protein or carbohydrate?
glucose is the sugar in your blood.
Why will cell choose to use glucose over fat when fat yields more energy?
cell use glucose instead of fat because glucose is easy to burn into energy but it takes a lot of workout ot burn fat..
What do plants convert ingredients into?
glucose
What does the body convert sugar into?
glucose
Will salt atoms be used to convert glucose to energy?
Humans convert glucose into energy. Salt is a substance to add taste to food
