Question

Glycogenesis begins when atp levels are high, and glucose entering cells is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate and converted to its isomer, glucose-1-phosphate.

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycogenesis begins when ATP levels are high, and glucose entering cells is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate and converted to its isomer, glucose-1-phosphate. Glycogen accounts for 80-85% of stored energy in the body. In order for amino acids to be oxidized for energy, the amine group (NH2) must be removed.
