How does exercise increase storage of glycogen and fat?
If the athlete had a fit rich and a poor carbohydrate diet, it would mean that they would have lower muscle glycogen content and a higher rate of fat oxidisation during exercise, when compared with a high carbohydrate low fat diet. The whole effect of such a diet could potentially be a sparing of muscle glycogen, and because muscle glycogen storage is paired up with endurance performance, it is possible that adaptation to a high fat diet could potentially enhance endurance performance. Therefor the athlete could afford to eat fatty things in their diet and be able to use the energy it gives to good use. The athlete would have to perform a lot of endurance exercise so that it does not hinder the performance.
If you were to exercise continuously about how long would glycogen stores last?
Glycogen stores in the body can typically sustain continuous moderate-intensity exercise for about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on factors like fitness level, diet, and exercise intensity. During prolonged or high-intensity exercise, glycogen depletion can occur more rapidly, often within 30 to 90 minutes. After glycogen stores are depleted, the body shifts to using fat as a primary energy source, which can be less efficient. Proper nutrition and carbohydrate loading can help extend glycogen availability during prolonged activities.
What substance would the repeating unit that makes up glycogen?
The repeating unit in glycogen is glucose. Glucose molecules are polymerized and linked together in chains to form glycogen, which is the storage form of glucose in animals.
Do plants use energy storage from glycogen?
no they use fructose oh and yahoo answers is better you would already have a response.
What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
Where are glycogen granules located?
Glycogen is the long-term energy storage for animals and most of an animals energy is exerted through motility or muscle movement so it would only make sense for glycogen to be broken down (through hydrolosis) where it was most needed; in the muscles.
What is the functions of glycogen?
It simply isn't enough for our bodies to have simple sugars (no pun intended) available at all times for our energy uses. This would require us to consume food constantly. This is why we have glycogen. Glycogen is the storage form of those simple sugars. It can be broken down whenever we need energy. A lot more convenient than eating whenever we need energy, wouldn't you say?
Both Algae and plants store their food in the form of glycogen. Is this true?
No, that is not true: "All other major groups of organisms store food in the form of glycogen and other complex sugars, and/or lipids." The correct answer is starch although I am almost sure that protein would another good answer. Something that would not be a good answer though would be glycogen, glucose, and cellulose Hope that helps!!
Two polysaccharides that store glucose are?
If by 2 polysaccharides you mean any two, then some of the common examples would be cellulose, peptidoglycan, starch (amylose and amylopectin), hemicellulose, chitin, glycogen ........... the list is almost endless.
What stores glycogen in a cell?
If your body does not have any use for the glucose, it is converted into glycogen and stored it in the liver and muscles as an energy reserve. Your body can store about a half a day's supply of glycogen. If your body has more glucose than it can use as energy, or convert to glycogen for storage, the excess is converted to fat.
What is an example of glycogen?
Glycogen is what animals use for short term energy production. So if you are looking at finding food with glycogen either to eat or stay away from it would be protein since this is where animals store their glycogen. When you eat glycogen it must be broken down into glucose and reconstructed in the body and stored as glycogen again.
What effect would increase levels of gglucagon have on the amount of glycogen stored in the liver?
Increased levels of glucagon stimulate the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver, which would in turn reduce the amount of glycogen in the liver.
