Where does glucose go when it leaves the small intestine?
After leaving the gut, the liver is the first tissue to use dietary glucose. In the liver, glucose can be converted to glycogen to be stored or distributed through out the body for energy. It can also be converted to fatty acids. The conversion of glucose to fatty acids usually only happens if energy intake has exceeds energy expenditure.
What doest the liver remove from the bloodstream?
The liver removes glucose
Where does blood leaving the intestine go?
to the hepatic portal vein and then to the liver.
Does insulin mobilize liver glycogen to yield glucose?
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
What hormone causes liver cells to release glucose?
The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.
What is the chief storehouse of glucose?
The chief storehouse of glucose in the body is the liver. Glucose can be stored in the liver in the form of glycogen and released into the bloodstream when needed to maintain blood sugar levels.
What organ relies most critically on a steady supply of glucose?
That would be the liver. The liver stocks glucose as glycogen which can be broken down to glucose.
Glucose is stored in the liver as?
Glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen, a polysaccharide that serves as a reserve of energy. When blood glucose levels drop, glycogen can be broken down into glucose to provide a quick source of energy for the body.
What is Glycogen converted into when it leaver the liver?
Glycogen is converted into glucose when it leaves the liver. This glucose can then be released into the bloodstream to be used by other tissues in the body.
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Where is glucose-6-phosphatase located in liver cells?
glucose-6-phosphatase is not found in the liver. it is found in the muscles
What stores in the liver?
The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen which is converted back to glucose again when needed for energy.
