Question

what happens to glycogen when blood sugar levels decrease? it is stored; it is synthesized; it is ignored; it is hydrolyzed

Explanation:

Glycogen is a storage form of glucose in the body. When blood sugar levels decrease, the body needs to release glucose into the bloodstream. Glycogen hydrolysis (breakdown by adding water) occurs, converting glycogen into glucose. Storing or synthesizing glycogen would further lower blood sugar, and ignoring it is not a physiological response. So glycogen is hydrolyzed.

Answer:

D. It is hydrolyzed
