GLYCOGENESIS

What is glycogenesis?

• The breakdown of glucose

• The storage of glucose

• The conversion of glucose to fat

• The conversion of fat to glucose

Where does glycogenesis occur?

• Liver

• Muscle

• Adipose tissue

• Both A and B

What is the final product of glycogenesis?

• Glucose-6-phosphate

• Fructose

• Glycogen

• Starch

What triggers glycogenesis?

• Low blood sugar levels

• High blood sugar levels

• Exercise

• Starvation

What is the main role of glycogenesis in the body?

• To regulate blood sugar levels

• To provide energy to cells

• To store excess glucose

• To regulate insulin levels

What happens to glycogen stores during periods of low glucose availability?

• They remain unchanged

• They increase

• They decrease

• They are converted to fat

What is the difference between glycogenolysis and glycogenesis?

• Glycogenesis is the storage of glucose, while glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glucose.

• Glycogenesis is the breakdown of glucose, while glycogenolysis is the storage of glucose.

• Glycogenesis is the conversion of glucose to fat, while glycogenolysis is the conversion of fat to glucose.

• Glycogenesis is the conversion of glucose to glycogen, while glycogenolysis is the conversion of glycogen to glucose.

In what type of cells does glycogenesis occur?

• Liver cells only

• Muscle cells only

• Adipose cells only

• Liver, muscle, and adipose cells

What is the function of glycogen branching enzyme in glycogenesis?

• To form glucose chains

• To split glycogen molecules into smaller units

• To link glucose chains together

• To regulate insulin secretion

What type of bond holds the glucose units together in glycogen?

• Ionic bond

• Hydrogen bond

• Covalent bond

• Glycosidic bond
