Chapter 24, Problem 24.68EP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To explain the reason for the production of one more ATP when glucose is obtained from glycogen then when it is obtained directly from the blood.

Concept introduction: Glucose is a monosaccharide with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. It serves as a form of carbohydrate storage in humans and animals. Glycogen is a source of glucose in humans and animals.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is defined as the energy currency of life and provides energy to carry out the metabolic processes in the living cells.

Glycogenolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glycogen to glucose 6phosphate

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why does Glycolysis only release a small amount of the total available energy that can be harvested from glucose?
If sugar must be broken down to release energy through cellular respiration, why is ATP needed in the process? Explain.
Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.
