Question

Where do Glycogenesis and Glycogenolysis occur?

Answer 1

Glycogen:

It is a highly branched, very large polymer of glucose.

Glycogenesis:

1. Glycogenesis is the process of converting glucose and other simple sugars into glycogen.
2. Glycogenesis occurs mainly in the muscle and liver.
3. Insulin stimulates glycogenesis.

Glycogenolysis:

1. Glycogenolysis is the process of converting glycogen into simpler compounds.
2. Glycogenolysis occurs mainly in the muscle and liver.
3. Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis.
