During starvation, the liver synthesizes and secretes ketone bodies into the blood for use as fuel by different organs (other than the liver) of the body: What biochemical are ketone bodies converted to in these organs in order to enter the Citric Acid Cycle? Oxaloacetate Citrate Pyruvate Succinyl-CoA Acetyl-CoA

What happens to glycogen when blood sugar drops? a. It stimulates the release of insulin, which can regulate the blood sugar level. b. It is released from the liver and converted to glucose to increase blood sugar levels. c. It is converted to starch, which breaks down to form glucose and increase blood sugar levels. d. It is released from the liver and converted to pyruvate, which can then form glucose to increase blood sugar levels.
