Family Betulaceae â Alder, Birch, Hornbeam. The birches have long been popular ornamental trees in North America, chiefly in the northern United States and Canada. Several are native Americans, but many species have been introduced from Europe and Asia.
Carbohydrates-Simple sugars are sent to the liver where they are converted to glucose. The glucose then travels to the blood or is converted to glycogen and fat (triglyceride). The glycogen and fat will be stored in the liver and adipose tissue, respectively, as reserves for the post-absorptive state.
When glycogen is degraded (catabolized), all of the following occur in both liver and muscle EXCEPT. 1  Active glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the phosphorolysis of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds in glycogen. 2  Debranching enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-1,6-glucosidic bonds in glycogen.
