- - - - glycogen is insoluble
      - glycogen is easier to break down (branched)
      - 1:6 + 1:4 glycosidic bonds
  - - - amine group is ammonia, CO2 added in ornithine cycle to make urea and water
  - - - Broken down by catalase into water and oxygen
    - - broken down by ethanol dehydrogenase into ethanal
        
        Broken down by ethanal dehydrogenase into ethanoate
        
        used to make fatty acids
        
        Broken down by coenzyme A into Acetyl coenzyme A

- - - - Bile drains into bile ductules which take it to the gall bladder
  - - - Act as a resident macrophage of the liver
      - Ingesting foreign particles to protect against disease
      - Sit either side of hepatocytes
- - - - Ammonia (NH3) is then added to the citruline
        
        Arginine is made and water (H2O) is given off
        
        Water (H2O) is then readded to make Urea, CO(NH2)2
        
        Urea is added to water in the kidneys, removed via the kidneys and then excreted in urine
