What is biological structure?
Biological structure, is the structure of an organism at a cellular level. For example vegetables at a cellular level have a biological structure of having beta glucose within its structure thus being composed of cellulose
What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen in form of glucose.
Is glucose the basic unit of glycogen?
Glucose is the basic unit of glycogen. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver as well as the muscle tissues.
Is glycogen made with glucose units?
Yes! Glycogen is made from repeating units of glucose. Hope this helps!
What advantage does the branched-chain structure of glycogen provide compared with a straight chain of glucose?
There are several advantages because the glycogen molecule is branched. It is a better storage facility for glucose because the branches make it more soluble, and the glycogen is also synthesized more quickly.
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen

What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen in form of glucose.
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen?
Glycogen synthesis is an endergonic reaction that utilizes UTP to form UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose is then turned into glycogen by the glycogen synthase enzyme.
Is glucose the basic unit of glycogen?
Glucose is the basic unit of glycogen. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver as well as the muscle tissues.
What is the storage form of glucose?
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
Biological importance of carbohydrates organic compounds in relation to cellular structure and function in plants and animals?
Carbohydrates are essential for cell function. The regulation of glucose is paramount the cell function. Also, carbs are used for animal starch storage as glycogen, and plant structure as cellulose.
Does oxidation of glucose yield more energy than glycogen?
No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
How is glycogen made?
Through condensation reactions. Glycogen is a polysaccharide. This means it is the polymer of many monosaccharides. The monomer of Glycogen is Glucose. Glucose, through condensation reactions in which water is released, joins to form the branched structure of Glycogen. This feature is beneficial in animals as it is easy to break off the individual glucose for energy through enzymes but also because polysaccharides are insoluble while monosaccharides are.
Does insulin mobilize liver glycogen to yield glucose?
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
Glucose is stored in the liver as?
