Ebo, Don't ask me I don't know too.


What are the storage and quick-energy forms of carbohydrates found in animals and how are these forms structurally related to each other?

In animals, the storage form of carbohydrates is glycogen, which is found in the liver and muscles. The quick-energy form of carbohydrates is glucose, which circulates in the bloodstream. Glycogen is structurally related to glucose as it is made up of many glucose molecules linked together in a branched structure. When quick energy is needed, glycogen is broken down into glucose for immediate use.

They are stored in glycogen, and used for energy. I hope you don't mind that I deleted the "traveling in light waves answer"


How does a polymer forms?

A polymer consists of repeated, linked units. The units may be identical or structurally related to each other. Monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction called a condensation reaction.


How are statch and glycogen related?

Glycogen is a form of stored glucose found in the liver and muscles. When glucose is stored as glycogen, it is in a form that can be easily accessed for energy. Starch, on the other hand, is a polysaccharide found in plants and serves as a storage form of energy. Both starch and glycogen play crucial roles in providing energy to the body.

What are Stored polysaccharides in muscle and other tissues in animals called?

Stored polysaccharides in muscle and other tissues in animals are called glycogen. Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of glucose that serves as a readily available energy source when needed by the body.


What is the function of liver glycogen degradation?

The function of glycogen degradation is to export glucose to other tissues when blood glucose levels are low.


What happens when to you deplete your store of glycogen?

One major symptom of low glycogen is fatigue. Second, your body works overtime to try to convert available carbohydrates and proteins into glycogen. Low glycogen will also stimulate other body functions that generate hunger.


There is a maximum of about 100 g of stored glycogen in the skeletal muscles whereas the liver can store approximately 375-400 g of glycogen?

Actually, it should be the other way around: 100g - stored liver glycogen and 400g - muscle glycogen for an 80kg individual
