What else can I help you with?
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells, especially in muscle and fat tissue, which promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen. Insulin also stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown.
What hormone is used to convert glucose into energy?
Cortisol stimulates the breakdown of protein into glucose, raising blood sugar, thereby providing more energy to deal with stress.
What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase
Insulin which is released by the pancreas stimulates the?
Insulin stimulates the:Liver to take up glucose, activate glycogen synthesis, shut down glycogenolysis and gluconeogensisMuscles to take up glucose and amino acids (and possibly fatty acids)Adipose tissue to take up glucose and fatty acids (and possibly amino acids)
What molecule is produced from excess fat breakdown?
Excess fat breakdown produces molecules called fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids can be used for energy production or stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue, while glycerol can be converted to glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
How does the growth hormone affect the process of lipolysis in the body?
Growth hormone stimulates lipolysis, which is the breakdown of fats in the body. This hormone helps to release stored fat from fat cells into the bloodstream, where it can be used for energy.
Which hormone stimulates the breakdown of polymerized glucose?
glucagon
What type of fat stimulates the liver?
The fat kind.
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells, especially in muscle and fat tissue, which promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen. Insulin also stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown.
What stress hormone stimulates the body to make fat?
Taking in more calories than you're using up stimulates fat formation. If you're burning up what you eat, then you won't get fat.
What triggers the breakdown of stored fat?
Yes, adrenaline, cortisol, and growth hormones all stimulate the breakdown of fat.
What two structures add digestive juices for the breakdown of fat?
The gallbladder and pancreas add digestive juices for the breakdown of fat.
What hormone is used to convert glucose into energy?
Cortisol stimulates the breakdown of protein into glucose, raising blood sugar, thereby providing more energy to deal with stress.
What condition does incomplete fat breakdown results in?
ketosis
What is the breakdown of large fat globules?
It is called emulsification.
What type of molecules are made when lipase catalyses the breakdown of fats?
Catalyses the breakdown of lipids (fat molecules) into fatty acid and glycerol molecules
What does fat decompose into?
Fat decomposes into fatty acids and glycerol through a process called lipolysis. This breakdown of fat allows it to be used for energy production in the body.
