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

What like glycogen and starch are made by joining many sugar molecules together?
glucose
What parts of chloroplast store the chemical energy in glucose molecules?
Stroma of the chloroplast store the chemical energy in glucose molecules.
What is the difference between glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis?
Glycogenolysis is when the glucagon binds to the glucagon receptors , the liver cells convert the glycogen polymer nto individual glucose molecules and release into the bloodstream, while Gluconeogenesis is is the biosynthesis of new glucose
What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen in form of glucose.
What is glycogen how is it famed and what is it function in human body?
GLycogen is basically just long strings of glucose molecules hooked together. They are found in muscles and the liver, and provide an energy source when glucose is not readily available in the bloodstream.
What is meant by saying glucose molecules are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
The complex carbohydrates (cellulose, starch, and glycogen) are polysaccharides composed of chemically bonded glucose molecules.
What you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
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.
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.
Building glycogen from glucose is an example of?
The formation of glycogen by the liver cell is an example of anabolism
What is produced in the hydrolysis of glycogen?
It is the conversion of glycogen from a non-reducing sugar to a reducing sugar by splitting all of its glycosidic bonds to produces numerous glucose molecules
The polysaccharide in muscles containing multiple glucose molecules is named?
Glycogen
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
The Storage form of glucose in muscles is called?
Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.
What is a Highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells?
Glycogen Glycogen is storage form of glucose in the liver and skeletal muscles of animals.
Glucose molecules entering skeletal muscle fibers are trapped when converted to?
glycogen
What molecules do mammals use to store extra glucose as what plants use?
glycogen
