Where does the body store carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are absorbed and converted into glucose. The glucose can be stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue. If these are full the glucose will be converted into fat and stored.
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 type of polysaccharide is found in potatoes?
Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.
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.
Can muscle cells release glucose to the blood?
no
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.

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 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.
What are the storage and quick energy forms of carbohydrates found in animals and how are these forms structurally related to each other?
They are stored in glycogen, and used for energy. I hope you don't mind that I deleted the "traveling in light waves answer"
Where is glucose stored in the body?
In the human body, glucose is stored in the cells. The function of the stored glucose is the secondary energy storage. The primary energy is stored in the adipose tissue.
What answer best describes glycogen?
Glucose a simple monosaccharide sugar, is one of the most important carbohydrates and is used as a source of energy in animals and plants. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts respiration. The natural form (D-glucose) is also referred to as dextrose, especially in the food industry.
What type of polysaccharide is found in potatoes?
Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.
Is there the same concentration of glucose when blood goes into the muscle and when it comes out?
Muscle requires glucose, and so there is not the same concentration of glucose in blood entering and exiting a muscle. The exiting blood will be lower in glucose.
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.
The Storage form of glucose in muscles is called?
Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.
What could cause you to feel heavy all over?
In general, the feeling of heaviness is brought on by having muscle weakness. Depending on whatever is going on, inflammation of muscle tissue is quite possible. Other than that, possibly lack of glucose in the muscle tissue storage.
