No, bones do not provide reserves of glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, not in bones. Bones are primarily responsible for providing structure and support to the body, as well as producing blood cells and storing minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles. When the body needs energy, glycogen can be broken down into glucose to provide a quick source of energy for the cells.
Vertebrates store energy in the form of glycogen in their muscles and liver. Glycogen can be broken down into glucose to provide a quick source of energy when needed.
No, inclusions are generally not necessary for cellular survival but can serve various roles such as storage of nutrients, energy reserves, or waste products. Some inclusions, like lipid droplets or glycogen granules, can provide energy for the cell when needed.
The cotyledons and endosperm store food reserves that provide nutrients for the growth of a new plant. Cotyledons are seed leaves found in the embryo, while endosperm is a tissue in the seed that provides nutrients to the developing plant embryo.
The largest store of glycogen in the body is found in the liver. The liver can store up to about 100 grams of glycogen, which can be broken down to provide glucose for energy when needed.
