What happen when amylase react with glycogen?

Amylase is an enzyme that helps break down starches like glycogen into smaller sugars like glucose through hydrolysis. When amylase reacts with glycogen, it catalyzes the conversion of glycogen molecules into glucose molecules, facilitating their absorption and use as an energy source by the body.

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 food sources contain glycogen?

Glycogen is primarily found in animal products like meat, fish, and dairy. It is also present in smaller amounts in some plant-based foods like grains and legumes.

What happens when the liver has no glycogen reserve?

total absence of glycogen in the liver may be rare but rather an abnormally low levels of glycogen is more common. This could be as a result of an impairment in any of the enzymes involved in glycogen synthesis. Now, when glycogen is low,the body will look for another source of energy. The next immediate source is fatty acid . Hence low glycogen levels will lead rapid breakdown of fatty acids which when it becomes continuous can cause weight loss.. but the brain poorly utilizes fatty acids for energy production... hence a continous depletion of glycogen levels may result in some neurological impairments..
