Glycogen is broken down in the blood by the help of glucagon. It is then transferred into the cells by insulin.
Glycogen is broken down into glucose via glycogen phosphorylation.
Large or complex carbohydrate molecules are broken down into simple carbohydrates
carbohydrates
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.
hydrolysis
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
carbohydrates
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.
muscle cells.
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
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
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 .
glycogen, a close molecule to glucose which the body produces when it does not use the energy right away.
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
Glucose that is not broken down for energy is stored, first as glycogen in the liver and then as fat in adipose tissue.
