What is heteropolysaccharide?
A heteropolysaccharide is a type of complex carbohydrate made of different types of monosaccharide subunits linked together in a branched or linear chain. These polysaccharides exhibit a variety of functions and can be found in biological systems such as cell walls, extracellular matrices, and connective tissues.
Is amylase a heteropolysaccharide?
No, amylase is not a heteropolysaccharide. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates such as starch into smaller sugars. Heteropolysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of different types of monosaccharides bonded together.
Is chitin heteropolysaccharide?
No. It is made up of repeating units of the same monosaccharide : N-acetylglucosamine.
What do fungi store their carbohydrates?
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
What is glycogen cardiomyopathy?
glycogen cardiomyopathy
Which enzymes are required for glycogen breakdown?
glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, phosphoglutomutase
Why is glycogen phosphorylase alone not sufficient in in degrading glycogen?
Glycogen phosphorylase can not cleave the alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds at glycogen branch points
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
Glycogen is the polysaccharide that serves as the main storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles for energy. When energy is needed, glycogen can be broken down to release glucose for use by the body.
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
What is the difference between liver glycogen and muscle glycogen?
Liver glycogen has low glycogenin content as compared to muscle glycogen.. liver glycogen responds to glucagon but muscle glycogen responds to catecholamines.. liver glycogen is used for the maintenance of blood glucose levels, but muscle glycogen is used for the supply of energy to the muscles liver glycogen can be completely broken down to glucose because of the presence of glucose 6 phosphatase, which does not occur in the muscles
Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase has what effect on the enzyme?
Activation, conversion from glycogen phosphorylase B to glycogen phosphorylase A
Where is glycogen?
Glycogen is stored in a liver or muscle cell.
