Why is glucose important for and animal?
Glucose is processed in animals' bodies to create energy to survive.
Where is glycogen stored in animals?
In liver tissue
Do animals use chlorophyll to produce glucose?
No, it's an exclusive attribute of plants. Plants contain chlorophyll (it's what makes them green), which through the process of photosynthesis produces glucose. Animals get glucose from plants.
What organ produces glucose?
Most, if not all, organisms can produce glucose. Humans and other animals can produce glucose when necessary from other carbohydrates and intermediates (such as glycogen, lactate and pyruvate). This requires, at some point, consumption of autotrophs, to provide the energy and carbon required to produce glucose. Autotrophs can produce glucose (directly or indirectly) from inorganic molecules (i.e., not from eating other organisms). Photosynthetic organisms (photoautotrophs) are autotrophs that specifically produce glucose from light energy. This includes plants, algae and some bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria).
What is the main form of cabohydrate storage in animals?
Starch No, Starch is how plants store glucose. The human body stores glucose as glycogen.
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
Which gland converts glycogen to glucose?
Glucogen
How are glucose and glucogen related?
i think you mean glycogen...and they both have to do with sugar.
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.
Where do red blood cell go in the body to get glucose?
if u mean glucogen (the stored form of glucose) they get it through the liver
Starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants while is the stored carbohydrate in animals?
Glucogen. The precursor to glucose.
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.
