It absorbs oxygen while at the same time releases carbon dioxide across its surface
Correct answer: Glycogen
Glycogen is a form of polysaccharide of glucose molecule which serve as energy storage unit in the humans. The excess glucose in the body is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscles and the liver.
The muscles can store upto 500 gram of glycogen and liver can store 100 gram of glucose. Therefore, any carbohydrate which is consumed beyond this limit are converted to and stored as fat.
Glycogen that are stored in muscle are broken down into glucose while the liver cell glycogen are broken down into glucose as a circulating energy source to be used by the body.
Answer:
Synergism
Explanation:
Synergism means cooperation, and is a term of Greek origin (synergy). Synergy is a work or effort to accomplish a certain very complex task, and to be able to succeed in the end. Synergy is the moment when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
In physiology, synergism occurs when the effect of two or more combined chemical agents is greater than the sum of individual effects. Concerning hormones, synergism happens when two hormones must be present for the full expression of an effect. That is, two hormones act for a certain purpose.
Example: FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and estrogen cause oocyte maturation, but this only occurs if neither acts in isolation.
