In a biologically normal body, the body's source of glucose comes from ingestion and the diet. Scientific research indicates that in the event of starvation, the body can convert glycogen to glucose in the liver and make glucose for up to 6 hours.
A person therefore needs to eat food (carbohydrates and sugars) to maintain a healthy level of glucose in the blood.
What else can I help you with?
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
What is Glycogen converted into when it leaver the liver?
Glycogen is converted into glucose when it leaves the liver. This glucose can then be released into the bloodstream to be used by other tissues in the body.
Excess glucose taken up by the liver is converted to?
glycogen
What glucose that is converted to what is stored in the liver?
glycogen
How live glycogen is converted to glucose?
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy
Excess glucose is converted to another type of sugar called what?
glucose is converted into a sugar called sucrose Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. It is released as needed between meals.
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen?
Glucose is the main chemical compound that is converted to glycogen in a process called glycogenesis. Other compounds such as fructose and galactose can also be converted to glucose and ultimately stored as glycogen. The conversion of these compounds to glycogen occurs in the liver and muscles primarily to maintain blood sugar levels and provide energy reserves.
What can be converted to glucose if your diet is insufficient?
protein would be converted into glucose.
Unused glucose that is converted to is stored in the liver.?
glycogen
What is unused glucose that is converted to is stored in the liver?
glycogen
Where is excess glucose in the body stored?
Excess glucose in the body is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. Once these glycogen stores are full, any additional glucose is converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue for long-term energy storage.
In the human body excess glucose enters anabolic pathways and may be converted into glycogen or what?
in the human body exces glucose enters anabolic pathways and may be converted into glycogen or what
