Glycogen is usually broken down in the cell. This will happen when the cell needs energy and ATP is broken down to form glucose.

What hormones are released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
When blood sugar levels are low the pancreas will secrete glucagon which will stimulate the liver to breakdown glycogen (our reserve sugar supply) and stimulate gluconeogenesis which is converting fats and proteins into glucose (blood sugar).
What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen?
Glycogen synthesis is an endergonic reaction that utilizes UTP to form UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose is then turned into glycogen by the glycogen synthase enzyme.
Glucose is stored in the liver as?
how Diabetic Ketoacidosis evolves and how the body compensates for the acid
What stores glycogen in a cell?
If your body does not have any use for the glucose, it is converted into glycogen and stored it in the liver and muscles as an energy reserve. Your body can store about a half a day's supply of glycogen. If your body has more glucose than it can use as energy, or convert to glycogen for storage, the excess is converted to fat.
The primary function of insulin is?
Stimulates conversion of excess glucose to glycogen
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 stimulates the liver to produce glucose?
glycogen
Name one hormone and state its function?
* Insulin - released by pancreas - encourages liver and muscle cells to absorb glucose from the blood; stimulates the conversion of glucose ----> glycogen in liver/muscle cells.
What is the opposite of glucogenisis?
Glucogenisis is the breakdown of glycogen in the liver to form glucose. The opposite of this process is call Glycogenisis, this is the conversion of glucose into glycogen.
What stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. By doing so, the endocrine system increases the blood sugar level.
Sutherland discovered that epinephrine does what?
regulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose
What hormones are released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
When blood sugar levels are low the pancreas will secrete glucagon which will stimulate the liver to breakdown glycogen (our reserve sugar supply) and stimulate gluconeogenesis which is converting fats and proteins into glucose (blood sugar).
The conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate is the first step in?
glycogenolysis
Which hormone stimulates the conversion of excess glucose to glycogen for storage?
The hormones epinephrine and glucagon control glycogen phosphorylase which is an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose.The Insulin helps in this process ...InsulinGlucagonThis hormone is called 'Glucagon'.
How does the liver control glycogen?
* Glycogenesis - the conversion of excess glucose into glycogen as a cellular storage mechanism; this prevents excessive osmotic pressure buildup inside the cell * Glycogenolysis - the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, which provides a glucose supply for glucose-dependent tissues. * Gluconeogenesis - de novosynthesis of glucose molecules from simple organic compounds. an example in humans is the conversion of a few amino acids in cellular protein to glucose.
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
