What is the element symbol for glycogen?
Glycogen is not an element and it has no element symbol.
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 you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Where is glycogen turned to glucogen at?
The pancreas secretes "glucagon," not glucogen, to reverse hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which then turns stored glycogen from the liver into glucose.
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
How is glycogen present in the muscle cell?
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in the muscle cell. Glycogen can be used for energy.
What is the name of the polysaccharide that is used for the storage of energy in a human liver?
Glycogen.
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 monomers make up glycogen?
Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.
If Glycogen used to store energy in the liver and muscle tissue is an example of which type of molecule?
Carbohydrate
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 polysaccharide can be used to generate glucose?
Glycogen
What is the sugar used in glycolysis?
glucose or glycogen
What polysaccharides do animals make?
Animals convert glucose to glycogen for longer term storage. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver. Glycogen will be used before fat reserves are tapped.
What do all muscles have store of that is used for fuel?
Glycogen ps This is probably for apex isnt it well if it is like this answer because i am a student too and I know what its like XOXOXOXOXO <333
What happens to the energy that is not used by the plants?
It is stored as glycogen.
