What else can I help you with?
How does glucagon change plasma glucose?
Glucagon increases amount of glucose in blood by breaking down of glycogen to glucose .
Which of these are not fonid in blood Glycogen Fibrinogen Glucose Urea Albumin?
Fibrinogen and Urea are not found in blood. Fibrinogen is a clotting factor found in plasma, while urea is a waste product of protein metabolism mostly excreted by kidneys. Glycogen, Glucose, and Albumin are all present in blood.
What do fungi store their carbohydrates?
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
What is glycogen cardiomyopathy?
glycogen cardiomyopathy
Which enzymes are required for glycogen breakdown?
glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, phosphoglutomutase
Why is glycogen phosphorylase alone not sufficient in in degrading glycogen?
Glycogen phosphorylase can not cleave the alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds at glycogen branch points
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
Glycogen is the polysaccharide that serves as the main storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles for energy. When energy is needed, glycogen can be broken down to release glucose for use by the body.
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
What is the difference between liver glycogen and muscle glycogen?
Liver glycogen has low glycogenin content as compared to muscle glycogen.. liver glycogen responds to glucagon but muscle glycogen responds to catecholamines.. liver glycogen is used for the maintenance of blood glucose levels, but muscle glycogen is used for the supply of energy to the muscles liver glycogen can be completely broken down to glucose because of the presence of glucose 6 phosphatase, which does not occur in the muscles
What breaks down glycogen in the body?
The enzyme called glycogen phosphorylase breaks down glycogen in the body.
Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase has what effect on the enzyme?
Activation, conversion from glycogen phosphorylase B to glycogen phosphorylase A
Where is glycogen?
Glycogen is stored in a liver or muscle cell.
