If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).

Identify three herbivores and carnivores from finding nemo
Minchanka [31]
<span>Okay, so herbivores are animals that feed on plants, so in Finding Nemo, those would be Bubbles (a yellow tang), the turtles, and Dory (a blue tang). On the other hand, carnivores are all animals that eat meat in order to survive, so in this cartoon, those animals would be primarily the sharks: Chum (a maiko shark), Bruce (a great white shark), and Anchor (a hammerhead shark). </span>

Why does net productivity diminish with increasing trophic levels??
geniusboy [140]
Due to the bad trophic efficiency transfer, there is a loss in the consumption of most energy to cellular respiration at trophic levels. It also loses energy to heat, metabolism and other subsistence for biomass production. There is a higher energy loss when it is at higher trophic levels.
