The metabolic pathway known as glycogenesis refers to the

A. Breakdown of glycogen to release glucose
B. Synthesis of glycogen from glucose
✓
C. Synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources
D. Conversion of glucose to fatty acids

📝 Explanation

Glycogenesis is the anabolic process of converting excess glucose into glycogen for storage, primarily in the liver and muscle. Glycogenolysis is its catabolic counterpart. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of new glucose from non-sugar sources.

Next Question

The primary structural difference between starch (amylopectin) and glycogen is the frequency of branching. Glycogen's branches are approximately 8-12 glucose units apart, whereas amylopectin's branches are 24-30 units apart. This difference directly contributes to glycogen's
