In metabolism, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)can be used for glycogen synthesis or for glycolysis, among otherfates. What does it cost, in terms of ATP equivalents, to storeG6P as glycogen, rather than to use it for energy in glycolysis?Hint: The branched structure of glycogen leads to 90% of glucose residues being released as glucose-1-phosphate and 10%as glucose.
