What else can I help you with?
Glucose is converted to another type of carbohydrate which can be stored?
Glucose is converted into glycogen, a complex carbohydrate, for storage in the liver and muscles. Glycogen serves as a readily available energy source that can be broken down back into glucose when the body needs a quick burst of energy.
Starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants while is the stored carbohydrate in animals?
Glycogen is the stored carbohydrate in animals just as starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants. Both serve as a source of energy when needed by the organisms.
What type of carbohydrate is stored in fungi?
so when they need it they can pull it out again
Are carbohydrates stored similarly in both plants and animals?
No, carbohydrates are stored differently in plants and animals. In plants, carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch, while in animals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
What are the Glycogen sources?
Any type of food does not contain glycogen. Starch and carbohydrate will become glucose after entering our body. The glucose is then converted into glycogen by insulin. For what purpose? To maintain the blood sugar level. If the blood sugar level decreases, glucagon will convert the glycogen into glucose again.
How is carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle?
Carbohydrates are stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.
What type of carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen is stored in liver
Glucose is converted to another type of carbohydrate which can be stored?
Glucose is converted into glycogen, a complex carbohydrate, for storage in the liver and muscles. Glycogen serves as a readily available energy source that can be broken down back into glucose when the body needs a quick burst of energy.
What is the common form of carbohydrate?
glucose is the common form of simple sugar
Starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants while is the stored carbohydrate in animals?
Glycogen is the stored carbohydrate in animals just as starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants. Both serve as a source of energy when needed by the organisms.
What is the smallest unit any carbohydrate can be hydrolyzed to?
Glucose is the simplest monosaccharide or sugar and is the smallest unit any carbohydrate can be broken down to. It is the only carbohydrate the brain can use as fuel and the glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen which is a polymer of glucose.
What type of carbohydrate is stored in fungi?
so when they need it they can pull it out again
What is the job of carbohydrates in a cell?
They are everywhere. All cells have some amount of carbohydrates. In liver and muscles, carbohydrate glycogen is stored.

What is a substance that your body stores energy as?
One substance that the body stores energy as is glycogen, which is a complex carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscles. When needed, glycogen can be broken down into glucose for energy.
How do the liver and skeletal muscles handle a carbohydrate overload?
It all depends on what you mean by an overload. If you eat many cookies, the carbohydrates you don't use right away are stored as fat. The liver and muscles are not directly affected.
