How do low-carb diets work? We store glucose molecules in our muscles and liver as glycogen, which consists of thousands of glucose molecules linked together. During periods of fasting, we can activate glycogen to provide glucose.
(b) Individuals who do not eat carbohydrates do not store the same levels of glycogen as people who do. Explain the weight loss associated with storing less glycogen.

Why does glycogenolysis use fewer steps than the reverse process, glycogenesis? Which process uses less energy?

Indicate whether the statements below apply to the glucose-regulating hormone insulin or to glucagon:

(a) signals cells to take up glucose

(c) not produced in people with type 1 diabetes

a. glycolysis

The following metabolites are present both in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, except:

Which molecule is added to pyruvate and then removed in the next reaction?

Enzyme responsible for decarboxylation and phosphate transfer in the same gluconeogenic reaction is:
