Document Summary
Excess is stored as glycogen (stored in the liver) When it is depleted and there is no more diet, then the body and liver will start synthesizing its own glucose (gluconeogenesis) C6h12o6 is the glucose molecule and is oxidized to give 6 molecules of co2, 6 water molecules and energy. The burning of glucose will yield energy. Oxygen is being consumed, when oxygen is not there, the burning of glucose will not be complete and will become anaerobic respiration. All breakdown to give energy (lipids, carbs, proteins) Break down their bonds to utilize energy. For glucose to be utilized it has to enter the cell. Glycogen being broken down in the liver, the liver does not breakdown the glycogen into glucose for itself, it uses a portion of it and delivers it to the rest of the body. Glucose transporters have the ability to only allow the entrance to a cell and is determined by glucose transporters glut 1-14.
