Interpretation:
Glucose-6-phosphate is encountered in which of the four processes glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis has to be indicated.
Concept introduction:
In the glycolysis
Gluconeogenesis is an eleven-step pathway in which glucose is produced from non-carbohydrate substances. Glycogenesis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose-6-phosphate to glycogen. Glycogenolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate.
Glucose-6-phosphate is an activated glucose molecule. The structure of glucose-6-phosphate is as follows:
