Glycogenolysis

Question

Glycogenolysis
A) Breaks glycogen down , releasing glucose-1-phosphate
B) Form s glucose from am ino acid precursors
C) Occurs only in the liver
D) Occurs only in muscle
E) Makes glucose available from fatty acids

Accepted Answer

Glycogenolysis is the process of breaking down glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate, which can then be converted into glucose-6-phosphate for energy use in cells. It does not involve amino acids or fatty acids and occurs in both liver and muscle tissues, not exclusively in one or the other.
