The pancreas secretes "glucagon," not glucogen, to reverse hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which then turns stored glycogen from the liver into glucose.
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Glycogen is not an element and it has no element symbol.
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.
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
Glycogen is "Animal Starch" analagous to Plant Starch (polymerized glucose) - a form of chemical energy storage used by animals and fungi.
Glycogen is a compound. Anybody ever hear of glucogen.
Glucogen
i think you mean glycogen...and they both have to do with sugar.
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
Glycogen can readily be converted by the human body cells into gucogen for energy. * correction to that answer just posted: the word is : Glucogen (forgot to type in the letter L)
Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release. Glucogen promotes the conversions of glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood. As glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver the blood sugar level returns to normal.
Glycogen is made and stored in the liver and muscles. It is a form of stored glucose that can be broken down and released into the bloodstream when needed to maintain blood sugar levels.
The organelle responsible for converting glucose into glycogen is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).SER is involved in glycogen synthesis in liver and muscle cells by synthesizing and storing glycogen granules in response to insulin signaling.
liver
its turned into glycogen and burned as energy
Glycogen is the stored carbohydrate in animals just as starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants. Both serve as a source of energy when needed by the organisms.
