anaerobic

Question 3

Advantages of glycogenolysis

Answer 3

Rapid energy source

Question 4

Glycogen to Glucose-1-Phosphate

Answer 4

Glycogen Phosphorylase
Works at non-reducing end
Breacks a(1-4) glycosidic bonds
Removes glucose-1-phosphate

Question 5

Glucose-1-Phosphate to Glucose-6-Phosphate

Answer 5

Phosphoglucomutase

Question 6

Glycogen debranching enzyme

Answer 6

Transfers 3 glucose residues to non-reducing end
Hydrolyse a(1-6) glycosidic bonds and releases free glucose

Answer 9

Skeletal muscle
Liver
Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Question 10

Skeletal muscle

Answer 10

Glycolysis

Question 11

Liver

Answer 11

Glucose 6 phosphotase when blood glucose is low to release into the blood
