What are some Sources of glycogen?
Protein.
Is glycogen a lipid carbohydrate protein or nucleic acid?
Carbohydrate! gly = sugar
What type of protein is glycogen?
Glycogen is not a protein at all. As it does not content amine acid. It is a polymer of glucose and called animal 'starch'. It is stored in liver and some in muscles. About 300 grams of glycogen is stored at any given time.
Is glycogen a protein?
Nope it is a multi-unit sugar.
Does glycogen contain protein?
No, glycogen does not contain protein. Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of glucose units and serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. It is primarily found in the liver and muscle tissues. While glycogen itself is carbohydrate-based, it is often associated with proteins in the context of glycogen metabolism, as enzymes and other proteins help in its synthesis and breakdown.
Is glycogen a carbohydrate protein or a lipid?
Carbohydrate! gly = sugar
Is a glycogen a lipid or protein or carbohydrate?
Carbohydrate! gly = sugar
What can be converted to glucose if your diet is insufficient?
protein would be converted into glucose.
Will amylase break down glycogen into glucose?
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
Is collagen a functional protein?
nothing
What is the smallest functional and structural unit of protein?
The smallest structural unit of a protein is the amino acid. The smallest functional unit of a protein is a little ambiguous, because some might consider the amino acid to be functional (after all, some can function as neurotransmitters). Or, some might consider the peptide (di, tri, etc) to be a functional unit. One could argue what exactly is the smallest functional unit of a protein.
Can post workout protein consumption enhance muscle glycogen synthesis?
Yes, consuming protein after a workout can help enhance muscle glycogen synthesis, which is important for replenishing energy stores in muscles and promoting muscle recovery and growth.
