    blood. When the digestive system absorbs excess sugar in the form of glucose‚ the liver may take some of this energy and convert it into a highly compact carbohydrate called glycogen. This allows the liver to store excess sugar when it has been gone. During periods in which the digestive system is not absorbing sugar‚ the glycogen can be converted back into glucose and used to keep blood sugar levels high--even during times of hunger. PANCREAS It is part of the digestive system and produces important

    system. Glycogen which is stored in your muscles is broken down into glucose to be used as an energy source for the contractions in the muscles. ATP plays a role in this system as well as it converts the glycogen into glucose. This specific energy system is an example of anaerobic respiration as it does not require oxygen like the creatine phosphate system. When the ATP-PCr system fades after 10 seconds‚ the lactic acid system is introduced. Anaerobic glycolysis then occurs which sees glycogen being

    releases insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken into the cells of your body where it is used for energy. It also allows glucose to be converted to glycogen which is stored in the liver and muscles. When your blood sugar levels fall below the ideal level your pancreas releases another hormone called glucagon. Glucagon makes your liver break down glycogen‚ converting it back into glucose which can be used by the cells for

    colour does it turn in presence of starch and glycogen? Starch: yellow --> blue-black (amylase in starch reacts with iodine) Glycogen: yellow --> reddish-brown (due to the multi-branched component) 5) How do plants and animals store simple sugar glucose? In the form of polysaccharides. In plants‚ starch is the polysaccharide with glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. Glycogen‚ in animals‚ is a larger polymer. 6) How do starch and glycogen differ?
