What else can I help you with?
Which gland converts glycogen to glucose?
Glucogen
What is the function of insulin and glucogen?
Insulin decrease body glucose level.Glucogon increases body glucose level.
Where is glycogen turned to glucogen at?
The pancreas secretes "glucagon," not glucogen, to reverse hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which then turns stored glycogen from the liver into glucose.
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
What does glucagon do?
Glucagon is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting the release of stored glucose from the liver when blood sugar levels are low. It works in opposition to insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels by promoting its uptake into cells.
Explain how the blood sugar gets back to normal from being low?
Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release. Glucogen promotes the conversions of glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood. As glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver the blood sugar level returns to normal.
The liver store glucose in what form?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
Is glucogen an example of an isotope?
Glycogen is a compound. Anybody ever hear of glucogen.
What is a polysacharide?
These are very important in healthy diets as they are not broken down into glucose. The glucose molecules that make up NSP are different to the starch/glucogen glucose due to the position of an OH - group. Cellulose is the most common NSP. It is made up of 1000`s of B- Glucose which enyzmes cannot separate.
What is a non-starch polysacharides?
These are very important in healthy diets as they are not broken down into glucose. The glucose molecules that make up NSP are different to the starch/glucogen glucose due to the position of an OH - group. Cellulose is the most common NSP. It is made up of 1000`s of B- Glucose which enyzmes cannot separate.
Where is glucogen made?
Glycogen is made and stored in the liver and muscles. It is a form of stored glucose that can be broken down and released into the bloodstream when needed to maintain blood sugar levels.
What organs need carbs?
Your muscles and liver use glucose to make glucogen, your brain uses them for energy and to power your Central Nervous System, and your cells and tissues use them to help with growth.
