When blood glucose levels drop below normal, a condition called hypoglycemia, hormones (glucagon, cortisol, epinephrine) signal the breakdown of _glycogen_, which releases glucose from the liver (where most glycogen is stored) into the bloodstream.

When the level of glucose drops below the normal level there occurs the breakdown of glycogen so as to provide glucose molecule to the body as it acts as the immediate source of energy.

Further Explanation:

Glycogen is the stored form of carbohydrate in the body of living organisms. When the level of glucose in the blood drops down then this stored glycogen is broken down to release glucose in the blood which acts as an immediate source of energy.

Glycogen and Insulin hormone act as the main signals that determine the level of glucose in the bloodstream. Glucagon enhances the level of glucose in the blood while insulin decreases the level of glucose in the blood insulin induces the cells to take of glucose thereby decrease the amount of glucose in the blood. A high level of glucose may cause diabetes.

Acar company is testing seatbelts using crash test dummies. the company finds that when cars come to a sudden stop, the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward. the seat belt keeps the crash test dummies from hitting the back of the seat in front of them. why do the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward even though the car stopped? a. the friction opposing their bodies' movement keeps them in motion. b. the inertia of their bodies keeps them in motion. c. the forward acceleration of the car keeps them in motion. d. the gravity pulling on the car keeps them in motion.

The accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. the accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. chimpanzees and gibbons are the most closely related the chimpanzee's closest surviving relative is humans orangutans are the primates least closely related to chimpanzees old world monkeys and gibbons are the most closely related
