The major storage sites for glycogen in the body are?
In the body the major storage sites for glycogen are the muscles and the liver. Glycogen is found in low concentration areas of the body.
Which hormone stimulates the conversion of excess glucose to glycogen for storage?
The hormones epinephrine and glucagon control glycogen phosphorylase which is an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose.The Insulin helps in this process ...InsulinGlucagonThis hormone is called 'Glucagon'.
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
What is the name of the polysaccharide that is used for the storage of energy in a human liver?
Glycogen.
The liver store glucose in what form?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
Glycogen stored capacity in muscle and liver?
The form of glucose used for storage in animals is glycogen. This is mostly made in the liver and/or muscle cells. The form of storage used in plants is starch.
What does the glucagon do as a hormone and where is it produced?
Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver
When is glycogen formed in the liver?
Glycogen is formed in the liver during the absorptive state. Glycogen is the principal storage form of glucose in animal cells. It is formed in the liver and muscle tissue when there is an excess amount of glucose in the body.
Energy storage molecule found in liver and muscle cells?
Glycogen
What signals the liver to store or release glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone created by the pancreas that signals the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar level is dangerously low by converting glycogen (glucose converted for long term "storage") into glucose in the process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas that tells the liver to convert excess glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar level is high in the process known as glycogenesis.
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.
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.
