Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a primary form of energy storage in animals and fungi. It is composed of glucose units linked together and is predominantly stored in the liver and muscle tissues. When the body requires energy, glycogen can be rapidly broken down into glucose through a process called glycogenolysis. This stored glucose is crucial for maintaining blood sugar levels and providing energy during physical activity.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that both starch and glycogen are composed of α-glucose subunits?
True
Can glycogen be converted?
No. Insulin converts glucose into glycogen for storage in the body. Glucagon converts glycogen into glucose. (it's the various cells in the body that do the conversion in either case, insulin and glucagon are hormones that induce the shift in the metabolism.)
What is the smallest polysaccharide?
The smallest polysaccharide is maltose, which consists of two glucose units linked together.
What is fact as an adjective?
The related adjective is factual. It means pertaining to a fact, or true (actual).
What type of molecule is glycine?
carbohydrate is a macromolecule of glycogen
Is it true that both starch and glycogen are composed of α-glucose subunits?
True
Training can enhance the ability to store glycogen?
true
Does glycogen meet short term or long term needs of energy?
Glycogen meets the long-term needs of energy. This is due to the fact that readily available glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen. When blood glucose levels fall this glycogen is then converted back into glucose for energy requirements.
Both Algae and plants store their food in the form of glycogen. Is this true?
No, that is not true: "All other major groups of organisms store food in the form of glycogen and other complex sugars, and/or lipids." The correct answer is starch although I am almost sure that protein would another good answer. Something that would not be a good answer though would be glycogen, glucose, and cellulose Hope that helps!!
Is it true that a lack of carbohydrates causes your body to burn fat to replace the lacking glycogen?
Pretty much.
Can a fact be true or false?
It depends on what the fact is.
What do fungi store their carbohydrates?
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
What is glycogen cardiomyopathy?
glycogen cardiomyopathy
Any fact that is true for every parallelogram is also true for every square?
Yes. But the fact must be true for EVERY parallelogram.
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
Is this fact true A whole number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3?
True fact.
