Can glycogen be converted?
No. Insulin converts glucose into glycogen for storage in the body. Glucagon converts glycogen into glucose. (it's the various cells in the body that do the conversion in either case, insulin and glucagon are hormones that induce the shift in the metabolism.)
Are insulin and glucagon antagonistic hormones?
Yes insulin and glucagon are antagonistic hormones, as they antagonize, or incite a reaction, the liver into transforming glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar levels are high (insulin), and transforming glycogen into glucose when the blood sugar levels are low (glucagon).
What is the main enzyme for breaking down glycogen?
Glucagon
What does glucagon do?
from what i know the function of glucagon is to convert glucogen into glucose when there is deficiency of glucose in the body where the glucogen is the access glucose which converted by the insulin
What promotes use of glucose by the cells?
It is actually glucagon hormone, which converts glycogen to glucose . researches have found that there is certain cells in the liver cells that help to convert glycogen to glucose . so as glycogen is converted yo glucose, glucagon secreted by alpha cells of pancreas this way it promotes glucose utilisation in the body cells
What does the glucagon do as a hormone and where is it produced?
Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver
Which hormone stimulates the conversion of excess glucose to glycogen for storage?
The hormones epinephrine and glucagon control glycogen phosphorylase which is an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose.The Insulin helps in this process ...InsulinGlucagonThis hormone is called 'Glucagon'.
Glucagon prompts what organs to convert glycogen to glucose?
liver
How does glucagon change plasma glucose?
Glucagon increases amount of glucose in blood by breaking down of glycogen to glucose .
How can you use glycogen in a sentence?
I just ate lots of sugar, so the glucagon in my body turned the Glucose into Glycogen.
Are insulin and glucagon antagonistic hormones?
Yes insulin and glucagon are antagonistic hormones, as they antagonize, or incite a reaction, the liver into transforming glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar levels are high (insulin), and transforming glycogen into glucose when the blood sugar levels are low (glucagon).

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.
What hormone is responsible for stimulating the breakdrown of glycogen and its release as glucose?
The hormone glucagon converts stored glycogen into glucose, which can be transported in the bloodstream.
What glucagon does?
Glucagon: increases blood glucose by braking down glycogen by the liver (glycogenolysis)
