Do animals use chlorophyll to produce glucose?
No, it's an exclusive attribute of plants. Plants contain chlorophyll (it's what makes them green), which through the process of photosynthesis produces glucose. Animals get glucose from plants.
What is turnover rate of plasma glucose pool?
The turnover rate of the plasma glucose pool is the rate at which glucose is being removed from and returned to the plasma, typically measured in milligrams per minute. It reflects the balance between glucose production and utilization in the body and is an important indicator of metabolic function and health. A higher turnover rate can indicate greater glucose utilization or production.
State one function of glucose glycogen and lactose in animals?
Glucose - used for Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration. It is also the primary source of energy for the brain, thus when glucose is low, it can make it more difficult to think. Moreover, It is a precursor for Vitamin C.Glycogen - Is a polysaccharide of glucose, and is stored in the liver when the body needs to regulate blood sugar (Homeostasis). To do this, using Insulin (secreted from the pancreas) it branches the glucose molecules together.Lactose - Information unknown currently.
What is activated glucose?
The prefix "activated" usually means condensation of a sugar molecule like glucose with a nucleotide. Examples are uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) for activation of glucose, galactose or N-acetylglucosamine, guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) for mannose or fucose and cytidine-5'-monophophate (CMP) for sialic acid. Activation of sugars helps in biochemical transfer of sugar molecules to certain structure, e. g. N-glycans.
Glycolysis depends on a continuous supply of what?
Glycolysis depends on a continuous supply of glucose, which is the starting molecule for the pathway. Glucose is broken down into pyruvate through a series of enzymatic reactions in glycolysis to produce ATP and NADH for cellular energy.
Which gland converts glycogen to glucose?
Glucogen
How are glucose and glucogen related?
i think you mean glycogen...and they both have to do with sugar.
What is the function of insulin and glucogen?
Insulin decrease body glucose level.Glucogon increases body glucose level.
Where is glycogen turned to glucogen at?
The pancreas secretes "glucagon," not glucogen, to reverse hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which then turns stored glycogen from the liver into glucose.
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
What does glucagon do?
Glucagon is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting the release of stored glucose from the liver when blood sugar levels are low. It works in opposition to insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels by promoting its uptake into cells.
Explain how the blood sugar gets back to normal from being low?
Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release. Glucogen promotes the conversions of glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood. As glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver the blood sugar level returns to normal.
Is glucogen an example of an isotope?
Glycogen is a compound. Anybody ever hear of glucogen.
The liver store glucose in what form?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
What is a polysacharide?
These are very important in healthy diets as they are not broken down into glucose. The glucose molecules that make up NSP are different to the starch/glucogen glucose due to the position of an OH - group. Cellulose is the most common NSP. It is made up of 1000`s of B- Glucose which enyzmes cannot separate.
What is a non-starch polysacharides?
These are very important in healthy diets as they are not broken down into glucose. The glucose molecules that make up NSP are different to the starch/glucogen glucose due to the position of an OH - group. Cellulose is the most common NSP. It is made up of 1000`s of B- Glucose which enyzmes cannot separate.
Where is glucogen made?
Glycogen is made and stored in the liver and muscles. It is a form of stored glucose that can be broken down and released into the bloodstream when needed to maintain blood sugar levels.
