Question
Chapter 17, Problem 47RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The ATP yield per molecule of the glucose in the muscles, if glycogen were the source of glucose is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Glycogen is the polysaccharide form of glucose in which many glucose units are present.
It represents the main storage form of glucose in the body and when the cells require energy for their functioning, this stored glycogen breakdowns into glucose.

- REFLECT AND APPLY In metabolism, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) can be used for glycogen synthesis or for glycolysis, among other fates. What does it cost, in terms of ATP equivalents, to store G6P 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.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Explain how glycogen phosphorylase is controlled allosterically and by covalent modification.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLLY What are the metabolic effects of not being able to produce the M subunit of phosphofructokinase?arrow_forward
