8 0

Answer:

The human body can store 350-500 grams of glycogen in the body.

Explanation:

The glucose present in the body provides energy. The glucose each gram is changed to 4 kilo calories of energy which can be easily utilized by the body. The stored glycogen provides energy by converting to glucose. The muscle consist of around 400 gm of glycogen and the liver consist of 100 gm of glycogen.

The muscle uses this stored glycogen at the time of energy requirement. The liver also act as a reservoir of glycogen.

loris [4]

Answer:

Golgi receives a vesicle containing newly synthesized proteins that were sent by the endoplasmatic reticulum. Then it modifies the proteins and sends them where they need to go.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis is initiated in the cytoplasm when mRNA meets a free ribosome, which is the primary structure for protein synthesis. They read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using transference RNA to build the protein. The synthesizing protein is driven to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and translocated to the lumen. Once there, the protein suffers a few modifications, one of them is folding to become functional. Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are <u>packaged into vesicles</u> and <u>sent to the Golgi complex</u>, where it occurs the <em>final association of carbohydrates with proteins</em>. The Golgi complex <u>sends proteins to their different destinies</u>. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organ. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.
