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.
True
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.)
The smallest polysaccharide is maltose, which consists of two glucose units linked together.
The related adjective is factual. It means pertaining to a fact, or true (actual).
carbohydrate is a macromolecule of glycogen
True
true
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.
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!!
Pretty much.
It depends on what the fact is.
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
glycogen cardiomyopathy
Yes. But the fact must be true for EVERY parallelogram.
glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, phosphoglutomutase
Glycogen phosphorylase can not cleave the alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds at glycogen branch points
True fact.
