Question

What type of reaction is glycogenesis?

Answer 1

Glycogenesis:

1. An anabolic process that requires ATP to assemble excess glucose molecules into more complex glycogen granules is known as glycogenesis.
2. The reaction in which complex molecules are built from simple molecules is known as an anabolic reaction.
3. In glycogenesis, complex glycogen molecule is built from simple glucose molecules.
4. Thus, glycogenesis is an anabolic reaction.
5. Glycogen is a carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals.
6. Glycogenesis occurs when blood glucose levels are high.
