Insulin reduces the amount of sugar in your bloodstream to an acceptable level, and glucagon raises the amount of sugar in your bloodstream to an acceptable level.

What happens when you eat a big meal?
The mammalian pancreas secretes insulin by beta cells which increases glycogen synthesis. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels.
Why difference properties of cellulose and glycogen?
cellulose is found in cell wall of plant cell while glycogen is reserve food material in fungi
What is the difference between insulin and hemoglobin?
The only thing that they have in common is that they are proteins. Insulin is a molecule that carries glucose across the body cell membranes. Hemoglobin is a very large molecule that contains iron and carries oxygen. The red blood cells are packed with it.
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
What is the difference between the function of glycogen amylase and cellulose?
All these substances play a major role in the Enzyme activity in plants and animals. Glycogen is the source of energy for the muscles of the body of the human body. Amylase is an enzyme that helps in the making of starch for plant use. Cellulose on the other hand is the primary sugar that allows plants to be able to make their own food
What is the difference between insulin and glucagon?
Insulin signals blood cells like liver and muscle cells. These are used to accelerate the conversion of glucose to glycogen that's stored in the liver. Glucagon attach themselves to liver cells telling them to convert glycogen to glucose and to release glucose into the blood.
Does insulin mobilize liver glycogen to yield glucose?
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
What promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen?
Insulin
What hormone affects the storage of glycogen in the liver?
Insulin
Glycogen breakdown in exercising muscle is activated by?
Insulin
Difference between insulin novarapid and insulin human actrapid?
actrapid is a soluble insulin and novorapid is insulinaspart
What will happen if a non diabetic takes insulin?
The insulin will stimulate the formation of glycogen, which will lower your blood sugar
What is An example of antagonistic hormones controlling homeostasis?
glycogen and insulin
Where is excess glucose in the body stored?
It is stored in the liver as glycogen. It is converted into glycogen by insulin.
The primary function of insulin is?
Stimulates conversion of excess glucose to glycogen
What two factors influence blood glucose concentration?
Insulin and Glycogen
How does cardiovascular fitness affect insulin action in the body?
When you do cardiovascular fitness, muscle glycogen gets used up. When your body works to restore the glycogen your insulin action is heightened. Any type of physical activity makes your insulin action work better.
