How long do glycogen stores last for a person who is inactive but not eating?

Biology
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago

Answer:

Approximately 24 hours.

Explanation:

Our body has two complementary ways of energy storage. It can store energy as:

Glycogen in the liver.

Body fat.

Glycogen is both produced and stored directly in the liver. When insulin moves up, the body stores food energy as glycogen. 

When insulin falls, as with fasting, the body breaks the stored glycogen back down into glucose. Liver glycogen lasts approximately 24 hours without eating. 

Glycogen can only be used to store food energy from carbohydrates and proteins. It does not store energy from dietary fat, because it is not processed in the liver, and does not break down into glucose.

valina [46]

Answer:

O happiness

Explanation:

According to this question, Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that makes a person feel happy when released in the brain. However, it is stated that certain drugs stop the synapses from removing neurotransmitters, like Dopamine.

Hence, when these drugs cause the amount of neurotransmitters in the synapses to be increased, this means that the response caused by those neurotransmitters will also be increased. For example, an increase in Dopamine will cause an increase in HAPPINESS.

Which term identifies the process used by the cell to remove large molecules?
GarryVolchara [31]

The right answer is Exocytosis.

In a eukaryotic cell, exocytosis is a mechanism of material release by invagination of the cytoplasmic membrane. It consists of a spillage of the products of a vesicle outside the cell, by fusion of the plasma membrane with the membrane of this vesicle.

Its opposite (or reverse) is endocytosis. In the case of a vacuole, see the exocytosis vacuole.
