What is the breakdown of glycogen to release glucose called?

Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glucose. The reaction takes place in the hepatocytes and the myocytes.

What is broken down to release glucose?

The body breaks down most carbohydrates from the foods we eat and converts them to a type of sugar called glucose.

What triggers the breakdown of glycogen to glucose?

Glucagon, in part, triggers glycogen in your liver to convert back to glucose so it can enter your bloodstream. This process is called glycogenolysis. When glucose is in your bloodstream, cells throughout your body can use it for energy.

How does the breakdown of glycogen take place quizlet?

glycogen breakdown happens in muscle and liver cells(liver cells require additional enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase to go from glucose-6-phosphate to glucose if not it cannot leave the mitochondrion cell) and muscle. Glycogen synthesis happens in the liver and muscle cells.
