- Breakdown of starch
- Chew food
- Amylase converts starch to glucose
- Intestinal cells absorbs it
- Absorbed into blood
- Absorbed into respiring cells
- Energy released through respiration
- Absorbed into cells and stored as glycogen
- Energy released through respiration
- Absorbed into respiring cells
- Absorbed into blood
- Intestinal cells absorbs it
- Amylase converts starch to glucose
- Chew food
- How the body knows to store glucose
- Too much glucose in blood causes organ damage
- Cells in pancreas react to levels of glucose in blood
- Done by homeostasis and negative feedback
- High blood glucose
- Pancreas releases insulin
- Liver and muscles absorb glucose
- Glucose used in respiration or stored as glycogen
- Blood glucose level falls
- Glucose used in respiration or stored as glycogen
- Liver and muscles absorb glucose
- Pancreas releases insulin
- Low blood glucose
- Pancreas release glucagon
- Liver converts glycogen to glucose
- Released into bloodstream
- Blood glucose levels increase
- Released into bloodstream
- Liver converts glycogen to glucose
- Pancreas release glucagon
- Breakdown of starch
