Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.54E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to the fact that the liver glycogen is used to increase blood sugar levels, but muscle glycogen is not used to increase blood sugar levels is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The process by which glycogen is synthesized from glucose is called glycogenesis. The conversion of glucose into glycogen occurs when glucose is consumed in excess amounts higher than the body required at that moment. The process of glycogenesis takes place in the cells of the liver and muscles. At the end of this process, the units of glucose are bonded to the growing chain of glycogen.
