Where does synthesis and glycogen take place?
Smooth ER
What promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen?
Insulin promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles by stimulating glycogen synthesis. When blood glucose levels are high, insulin is released from the pancreas to signal cells to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage.
How long to replenish liver glycogen?
Oh, dude, so like, replenishing liver glycogen after a workout can take around 12-16 hours if you're just chillin' and not doing anything too crazy. But if you're really goin' hard with the workouts, it might take up to 24 hours for your liver to get back to its carby goodness. Just make sure to eat some carbs and give your body some time to do its thing, man.
Why is it important that glucokinase have a high km?
High km, low affinity for glucose means that the liver and will only take up glucose during times of high blood glucose levels (Glycogen and FA synthesis)
What does the liver do with the different substances it absorbs?
The Liver has many functions; the most prominent being the absorption of High-density lipo proteins (Bad cholesterol). Normally, the foods we eat are "categorised" by the body and various processes take place. The liver controls cholesterol and is important in controlling blood sugar levels. Sugar is converted into glycogen in the pancreas, then this glycogen is absorbed by muscles for energy. If your blood sugar level decreases, your liver secretes a hormone called Glucagon. Glucagon converts the stored Glycogen back into normal sugar (Glucose). That's a lot of "G's", but the liver also does many more vital jobs in our body. I'm not really associated with the liver but I hope I have helped!
How is excess glucose stored in liver and muscle cells?
After a meal, as blood glucose rises, the pancreas is the first organ to respond. It releases the hormone insulin, which signls the body's tissues to take up surplus glucose. Muscle and liver cells use some of this excess glucose to build glycogen.
What hormone promotes storage of glucose by the liver?
Insulin is the hormone that promotes the storage of glucose by the liver. It signals liver cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream and convert it into glycogen for storage.
Where is ribosomal synthesis take place?
In the Nucleolus.
Where does protein synthesis take place within the cell?
Protein Synthesis takes place in the ribosomes and in the mitochondria of a cell.
What is During digestion excess glucose is stored in liver cells and muscle cells in what form?
Excess glucose is stored in liver cells and muscle cells in the form of glycogen. When blood glucose levels are high, insulin signals these cells to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage. This glycogen can later be broken down back into glucose when energy is needed.
Where does dna synthesis take place?
I believe it takes place in the Nucleous
Where does protein synthesis in prokaryotes take place?
In the cytoplasm.
