In the human body excess glucose enters anabolic pathways and may be converted into glycogen or what?

What term is specific to a reaction in which simple compounds are combined into more complex molecules?
Anabolic is a termed that is specific to a reaction in which simple compounds are combined into more complex molecules. Anabolism is an example of the formation of glycogen by the liver cell.
What is the scientific term for creation of glycogen?
Glycogenesis. This is an anabolic pathway
The human body stores excess gluclose in the liver as?
Glycogen, a branched molecule with many glucose units.
Formation of glycogen by the liver cell?
The formation of glycogen by the liver cell is one of the best examples of anabolic processes. This is a process through which glucose is converted into glycogen.
Is insulin catabolic or anabolic?
Glycogenesis occurs if you have more glucose than your body needs. If you have eaten more glucose than your body currently needs the liver will store it as Glycogen. Glycogenesis occurs by the process of Dehydration Synthesis which is Anabolic.
The chemical process of building glycogen from glucose molecules?
well, you have those glucose molecules and then the enzyme "glycogen synthase" comes in and linkes the glucose molecules by a redox reaction in which water is formed
Are glycogen granules living?
No, they are simple storage molecules.
What you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
Which of the following enzymes is not required to breakdown glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules for further metabolism?
All of these enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules.
Glucose becomes glycogen is it anabolic or catabolic?
it is a catabolic reaction as it is breaking down from a large molecule to a smaller more complex one.
Does the body store glucose in a form of glycogen?
Glycogen synthesis, glycogenesis, is one of the most important anabolic pathways. Insulin drives the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogen is stored in the liver which is then turned back to glucose by glucagon during excercises and fasting. Hope this helps!!
