What else can I help you with?
In what organ do animals store excess sugar?
Liver as glycogen
Why are complex carbohydrates better for storing energy than simple sugar?
Simple sugar molecules will create lot of osmotic pressure in the cell. In case of glycogen, you have thousands of glucose molecules put together. Glycogen molecule is compact and does not produce much osmotic pressure.
What is the common form of carbohydrate?
glucose is the common form of simple sugar
What organ stores excess blood sugar as glycogen?
The liver and skeletal muscle store glucose as glycogen. The liver can make glucose from proteins and release it from glycogen to help keep blood glucose at a normal level when we are fasting.
What is the difference between glucose and glycogen?
Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as the primary source of energy for cells, while glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles.
What organ in the body detects changes in blood glucose level?
The pancreas is the organ in the body that detects changes in blood glucose levels. It releases insulin to lower blood sugar levels and glucagon to raise blood sugar levels in response to these changes.
What is the stored form of carbohydrate in animals?
Glycogen
Is glycogen a form of sugar?
a storage form of sugar
Glycogen and starch?
Are complex sugars that are stored. Glycogen is the way that sugar is stored in animals, starch is the way that sugar is stored in plants.
What are organic compounds in the body used to store energy?
Glucose as a food and Adenosine Tri Phosphate ATP within cells.
What is the function of the organ marked as x?
The organ marked as x is the liver. It plays a crucial role in detoxification, protein synthesis, and producing digestive enzymes. Additionally, it stores glycogen and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Which group of orgnanic molecules includes glycogen and glucose?
Carbohydrates. Glycogen and glucose are both types of carbohydrates that serve as energy sources in the body. Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and muscles, while glucose is a simple sugar that is used as an immediate energy source.
