Glycogen is an energy-storage molecule in humans. A hormone that is called insulin controls the storage of glycogen in the liver. Insulin is made up of amino acids. Which statement correctly identifies the types of macromolecules that are described? Glycogen is a protein, and insulin is a lipid. Glycogen is a lipid, and insulin is a protein. Glycogen is a carbohydrate, and insulin is a lipid. Glycogen is a carbohydrate, and insulin is a protein.

1) Which of the following is true of glycogen and glucose within the body? The liver is the largest store of glycogen. Muscle stores glycogen but the liver is the main organ which is capable of increasing circulating glucose. Muscle can break down glycogen to release glucose into the bloodstream. The enzyme phosphofructokinase is a key enzyme in breaking down glycogen and releasing glucose into the bloodstream. 2) What molecule is broken down by a phosphorylase in the liver to yield glucose-1-phosphate? Glycosylated protein Glycogen RNA Triacylglycerol 3) Which of the following is true of glycogen and glucose within the body? The liver is the largest store of glycogen.
