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.
Animal cells store glucose as a polysaccharide called?
Glycogen
When a cell needs energy's does it breaks down the chemical glycogen?
Glycogen is made and stored in the cells of the liver and muscles until it is needed for energy. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown into glucose. Glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel.
The signal transduction pathway in animal cells that use epinephrine?
activates the breakdown of glycogen in liver and skeletal muscle cells.
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.
Why do epithelial cells contain glycogen?
Yes
Where is most of the body's glycogen found?
Muscles contain the most glycogen..........
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.
Does glycogen polymer contain nitrogen?
No.
Does starch provide energy for the animals?
starch is the store of sugar in plants wheras glycogen is the store of sugar in animals. So quite simply the answer would be no animal cells do not contain starch but they do have there own form of it.
Do chloroplast have glycogen granules?
No, they do not. Only animal cells have glycogen granule to store energy.
What molecules are storage forms of glucose in plant and animal cells?
The storage form is called glycogen and is usually found in the liver.
What promotes use of glucose by the cells?
It is actually glucagon hormone, which converts glycogen to glucose . researches have found that there is certain cells in the liver cells that help to convert glycogen to glucose . so as glycogen is converted yo glucose, glucagon secreted by alpha cells of pancreas this way it promotes glucose utilisation in the body cells
What is the function of glycogen granules in animal cell?
Glycogen granules form an energy or food store in mammalian cells. When needed, the glycogen can be broken down (hydrolysed) into glucose, which is used in respiration as a source of energy for the cell. For some background see: http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/g/glycogen.htm

Where is the largest Glycogen store?
the liver and muscle cells
Where is glycogen located in animals?
Glycogen is stored primarily in the cells of the liver
