Question

The following conditions would tend to encourage either glycogenesis or glycogenolysis. Sort them according to what would happen under each condition.

Drag each item to the appropriate bin.

A. you just ate dates

B. you are jogging for an hour

C. you are participating in a swimming competition

D. You are force-fed some oats

E. You have been fasting for about a day

Bin 1: Glycogenesis Bin 2: Glycogenolysis

Answer 1

Hi,

The method of glycogen synthesis is called Glycogenesis, in which chains of glycogen are formed for storage by glucose molecules. During rest periods, this process is activated in the liver, and also activated by insulin in response to high glucose levels,

Glycogenolysis is the method in which glucose is formed from the breakdown of glycogen. It basically takes place in response to hormonal and neural signals in the musclar cell and liver tissues.

Glycogenesis:

A. you just ate dates

D. You are force-fed some oats

Glycogenolysis:

B. you are jogging for an hour

C. you are participating in a swimming competition

E. You have been fasting for about a day
