Interpretation:
It should be determine that one more ATP is produced when glucose is obtained from glycogen rather than use directly from the blood.
Concept Introduction:
Catabolism: This process by which a living organism obtains it is energy and raw materials from nutrients.
Anabolism: Process by which energy and raw materials are used to build macromolecules and cellular structures
Glycogenolysis: This occurs in the liver, when Blood sugar level falls. ATP production is not takes place during Glycogenolysis.
ATP production: This energy is used by enzymes to unite ADP with phosphate ions to from ATP, the energy is trapped in the high-energy bond of ATP by this process and the ATP molecules are made available to perform cell work.
