What are the three enzymes involved in the conversion of glycogen to glucose?

The process of "glycogenolysis" is the splitting of glycogen in the liver, which in turn produces glucose. Glucagon can be administered in emergency diabetic situations where sugar can't be taken orally.

∙ 9y agoThe process of glycogen metabolism is complex. Glycogen Phosphorylase, Glycogen Debranching Enzyme, and Phosphoglucomutase are the enzymes necessary to break glycogen down to glucose.

What you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
When blood glucose levels are high and the glucose is not utilized for cellular respiration the human body will store this glucose in the liver and muscles in what form?
It is stored in the form of glycogen.
Where is glycogen turned to glucogen at?
The pancreas secretes "glucagon," not glucogen, to reverse hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which then turns stored glycogen from the liver into glucose.
What is Glycogen used for?
Glycogen is "Animal Starch" analagous to Plant Starch (polymerized glucose) - a form of chemical energy storage used by animals and fungi.
What is produced in the hydrolysis of glycogen?
It is the conversion of glycogen from a non-reducing sugar to a reducing sugar by splitting all of its glycosidic bonds to produces numerous glucose molecules
Which of the following enzymes is not required to breakdown glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules for further metabolism?
All of these enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules.
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.
Sutherland discovered that epinephrine does what?
regulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose
What is proteins enzyme?
All enzymes are chemically proteins. but not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymatic proteins catalyse the biochemical conversion of substrate in to product. Good example is amylase that digest starch or glycogen to produce glucose.
The conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate is the first step in?
glycogenolysis
The primary function of insulin is?
Stimulates conversion of excess glucose to glycogen
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
During the conversion of glycogen to glucose hormones are secreted to stimulate the secretion and they are?
Glucagons and insulin
Why is glycogen branched?
Glycogen is branched to allow more efficient energy storage and to provide multiple attachment points for enzymes that add to its glucose monomers.
What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
