Answer:
Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. The body breaks down nutrients from food and drink into carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins.
Answer: D) alpha: catabolism
Explanation:
Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals. The major sites of storage are liver and muscle.
Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone, it is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas. Low blood glucose causes glucagon secretion. When blood glucose level falls, liver glycogen is broken and help to maintain blood glucose level.
Glucagon stimulates the enzyme glycogen phospholylase which breaks down glycogen into glucose units.
