Question

Glycogen is stored in muscle tissue?

Answer 1

for energy transport or for structural support?

Answer 2

just confused :p

It stored in muscle tissue for structural support or for energy transport?

Answer 3

Muscle glycogen is an important fuel for contracting skeletal muscle during prolonged
strenuous exercise, and glycogen depletion has been implicated in muscle fatigue.
this is wat i got.

Answer 4

see d muscle contraction and relaxation is caused by actin and myosin and ca2+

Answer 5

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaa'am

Answer 6

lol I'm so confused

Answer 7

so it must b energy....also glycogen is generally used to obtain energy....

Answer 8

I know it is used for energy purpose.
But, In muscle tissue?

Answer 9

Muscle cell glycogen appears to function as an immediate reserve source of available glucose for muscle cells. Other cells that contain small amounts use it locally as well. Muscle cells lack the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase, which is required to pass glucose into the blood, so the glycogen they store is designed for internal use and is not shared with other cells. (This is in contrast to liver cells, which, on demand, readily do break down their stored glycogen into glucose and send it through the blood stream as fuel for the brain or muscles). Glycogen is also a suitable storage substance due to its insolubility in water, which means it does not affect the osmotic pressure of a cell.

Answer 10

this concludes energy is d ans.:)

Answer 11

Cool!

So, it would be :
Glycogen stored in muscle tissue is used for energy transport? Right?

Answer 12

not transport....see as it is written muscles do not give away the glycogen dat is stored. they use it as a form of energy.

Answer 13

It was a mcq question actually!
And they both were the options given to me!
I had to choose one from them :I

So, which one would be correct? :/
