Glycogenesis, Glycogenolysis, Gluconeogenesis

Question 1

glycogen –> glucose

Answer 1

glycogenolysis
- splitting glycogen
promoted by Glucagon and Adrenaline

Question 2

glucose –> glycogen

Answer 2

GlyCOGenesis
- making glycogen
uses insulin

Question 3

non-carbohydrates –> glucose

Answer 3

e.g lipids, amino acids
GLUCONEOGENESIS
- making new glucose
promoted by Glucagon

Question 4

describe the role of glucagon is gluconeogenesis

Answer 4

> glucagon binds to receptors on target cells, stimulating enzymes
to convert (non-carbs) amino acids/fatty acids to glucose
