Glycogen is broken down in the blood by the help of glucagon. It is then transferred into the cells by insulin.

What stimulates conversion of glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is usually broken down in the cell. This will happen when the cell needs energy and ATP is broken down to form glucose.
When glucose the monomeric subunit found in glycogen is required for energy glycogen is broken down through a process known as?
hydrolysis
Will amylase break down glycogen into glucose?
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen when broken down during digestion?
carbohydrates
In order to obtain energy from glycogen and startch the body must do what?
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.
When you exercise vigorously glycogen is broken down in muscle cells providing energy to?
muscle cells.
What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
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
What types of molecules are most often broken down by cells for energy?
When cell needs energy then the first molecule which is used is Glucose . If glucose level is low then Glycogen is broken down to get glucose . If glycogen is also in less amount then fats are broken down to get energy . Even then energy is needed then at last body Proteins are used up .
What is glycolysis broken down during?
glycogen, a close molecule to glucose which the body produces when it does not use the energy right away.
What will you expect to happen if glucose levels in the blood are low?
A(glycogen would be broken down into glucose b(insulin would be secreted by the pancreas c(glycogen would be formed d(cholesterol would be synthesized this are the answer
What happens if body cannot break down glucose fast enough?
Glucose that is not broken down for energy is stored, first as glycogen in the liver and then as fat in adipose tissue.
