What is the majority of the energy in the body stored in?
the major form of stored energy in the body is carbohydrate, stored as glycogen
What is stored by the body as energy reserves?
Energy is stored for later use by converting it to a compound that can be stored. These are glycogen and humans and starch in plants. In humans, insulin is produced by the pancreas which converts glucose (which can't be stored) into glycogen (which can be stored) which is stored in the liver. to convert the glycogen back to glucose when energy is needed the pancreas produces glucagon, this then converts the glycogen to glucose which is ready to be used by the body for energy.
What does glycogen do for the body?
Carbohydrates are broken down to release energy for the cells in the body. If an excess of energy is produced, the extra energy will be stored as fat.
The three kinds of energy nutrients can be stored in the body as?
Glycogen and Fat
What happens to food energy that is not stored as glycogen or fat?
It is used by the body.
What polysaccharide is stored as an energy source in the body of animals?
Glycogen, which occurs in large amounts in the liver.
What function does glycogen have in living things?
Glycogen is a stored sugar that is made available as the first energy source while exercising. It lasts for about 20 minutes. Then the body uses other sources of metabolism for energy. Glycogen is stored in the liver.
What are the possible fates of glucose in the body?
Used for respiration to produce energy Stored as glycogen for energy later
What happens when carbs aren't used immedietly?
When you eat more carbohydrates than your body needs for energy your body will break it down into glucose and then rebuild it in the liver as glycogen. The glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles. Then when you need more energy than you have eaten in carbohydrates your body breaks down the stored glycogen into glucose and you burn the glucose for energy.
