What promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen?
Insulin
What compound can be made from glucose and serves as long term energy storage?
Carbs and fats can be used as long term storage and are sometimes converted from glucose.
Approximately what percentage of the energy of glucose C6H12O6 is transferred to storage in ATP as a result of the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water in cellular respiration?
40%
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.
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 is glucose not very good for storage?
In a cell, both starch and glycogen do not dissolve in water which is why they both are used for storage of energy. Whereas if glucose was stored in a cell as free molecules, the glucose would dissolve and reduce the water potential, not store the glucose.
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 storage molecule for surplus glucose made by photosynthesis?
The principle storage molecule for glucose in plants is starch . The principle storage molecule for glucose in animal cells is glycogen.
What are the structural differences of glycogen and starch?
Glycogen is storage form of glucose in animals .Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants
Glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy. So for example, if your body requires glucose to survive, when it has plentiful amounts. Your body converts glucose into glycogen for storage. However, if your body has low amount of glucose within it. Your body will rely on the storage of glycogen to break down into its components and use the glucose for fuel.
Glycogen is the storage form of what in animals?
