it is a catabolic reaction as it is breaking down from a large molecule to a smaller more complex one.

When a cracker becomes glucose does it become Anabolic or Catabolic?
Anabolic
What is the function of glycogen granules in animal cell?
Glycogen granules form an energy or food store in mammalian cells. When needed, the glycogen can be broken down (hydrolysed) into glucose, which is used in respiration as a source of energy for the cell. For some background see: http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/g/glycogen.htm
Why does the body need to store glycogen and fat?
the pancreas secretes the hormone glucagon, pancreas as being the receptor in this case it detects the low blood sugar in the blood and thus secrets the hormone which increases the permeability of liver cells to glycogen, the metabolic reactions become faster, the coversion of stored glycogen to glucose becomes faster the blood enriched with glucose is transported to around the body wherever needed as if exercise going on then glucose to the muscles. If in case body needs stored glycogen for a flight/fight reaction then the hormone adreanaline is re;eased which does the same work but quite in an instant.
Which of the following would be used as energy in the human body source only after depletion of other sources glycogen in muscle cells calcium phosphate in bones glucose in the blood protein in mu?
glucose is the most efficient form of "food." Glucose would be used first. Protein in muscles will only be broken down in extreme starvation. As for the other answers, glucose is the energy source of choice and is the first to be broken down. Glycogen becomes the predominant energy source and glucose levels become depleted. Calcium phosphate cannot be used to generate ATPs in the body in any way.
Why do track runners eat a pasta dinner the night before the race?
Muscles use the sugar glucose as a major energy source. In the body, we store glucose as a polymer called glycogen, both in the muscle and in the liver. It is thought that eating a lot of starch, which is composed of glucose, will make the body store the maximal amount of glycogen ("carbohydrate loading"). Thus, when it comes time to run, the body will draw on a large glycogen reserve. This strategy is usually used by long distance runners, who need a large glycogen reserve. Eventually, the glycogen reserve becomes depleted, and the body switches from using glucose to using fatty acids from fat. This switchover can happen during a marathon race. This strategy is very outdated. Although the idea is correct...it is achieved much more efficiently by eating whole wheat (whole bread, cereal, granola bar) the morning of the race you are about to partake in. Pasta the night before....doesn't really make sense...you digest it before the morning run and it always is accompanied by fat.
What happens once glucose is phosphorylated?
Becomes trapped in the cell
When glucose and galactose join together it becomes?
It becomes milk sugar or more commonly known as lactose. One glucose monomer and one galactose monomer makes the disaccharide lactose.
Why does the fuel in your body increase whilst doing exercise?
The body's fuel requirements become higher as the body's main energy source(carbohydrates) becomes depleted and needs topped up with a sugary substance.orThe body's fuel may increase as you may not have enough glucose in your body so your body starts to break into your glycogen store's (fat, which is stored glucose) which provides the body with huge amounts of energy.
When does glucose concentration in urine become zero?
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
Diffusion of glucose and starch?
its cloudy and becomes visible much slower
Why is dextrose used in treatment of alcohol withdrawl?
Alcohol becomes glucose in the body
Why the water and glass becomes cool when you mix glucose in water?
It is because glucose absorbs the heat in the water for phase transition, i.e, transition from solid to liquid state. Hence water becomes cool and so does the glass.
