Define Polysaccharide and give two examples?
A polysaccharide is any carbohydrate made up of a chain of monosaccharides. Starch, cellulose, and glycogen ("animal starch") are polysaccharides.
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
What do fungi store their carbohydrates?
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
What is glycogen cardiomyopathy?
glycogen cardiomyopathy
Which enzymes are required for glycogen breakdown?
glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, phosphoglutomutase
What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen in form of glucose.
What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
Why is glycogen phosphorylase alone not sufficient in in degrading glycogen?
Glycogen phosphorylase can not cleave the alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds at glycogen branch points
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
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.
What is the difference between liver glycogen and muscle glycogen?
Liver glycogen has low glycogenin content as compared to muscle glycogen.. liver glycogen responds to glucagon but muscle glycogen responds to catecholamines.. liver glycogen is used for the maintenance of blood glucose levels, but muscle glycogen is used for the supply of energy to the muscles liver glycogen can be completely broken down to glucose because of the presence of glucose 6 phosphatase, which does not occur in the muscles
