Will amylase break down glycogen into glucose?
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
When your body needs energy what does it break down in the liver and what does it release into the bloodstream?
The liver stores glycogen. When the body uses it for energy it converts the glycogen to glucose.
What are the Glycogen sources?
Any type of food does not contain glycogen. Starch and carbohydrate will become glucose after entering our body. The glucose is then converted into glycogen by insulin. For what purpose? To maintain the blood sugar level. If the blood sugar level decreases, glucagon will convert the glycogen into glucose again.
Can glycogen be converted?
No. Insulin converts glucose into glycogen for storage in the body. Glucagon converts glycogen into glucose. (it's the various cells in the body that do the conversion in either case, insulin and glucagon are hormones that induce the shift in the metabolism.)
When an atom break what happens to that atom?
The atoms will break into half :)
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.
Will amylase break down glycogen into glucose?
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
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.
How can a Nintendo DSi XL break for no reason?
It cannot. Nothing happens without a reason.
What stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. By doing so, the endocrine system increases the blood sugar level.
When your body needs energy what does it break down in the liver and what does it release into the bloodstream?
The liver stores glycogen. When the body uses it for energy it converts the glycogen to glucose.
What are the three enzymes involved in the conversion of glycogen to glucose?
The process of "glycogenolysis" is the splitting of glycogen in the liver, which in turn produces glucose. Glucagon can be administered in emergency diabetic situations where sugar can't be taken orally.
What does the body break down to provide glucose for energy between meals?
glycogen
What happens to monomerswhen they undergo dehydration synthesis?
They will break up into smaller molecules.
What happens if the Atmosphere breaks?
The atmosphere is held to the earth by gravity and is made of gas = it cannot therefore break.
What happens if a person chooses to break the law?
