Question

Some glucose produced by gluconeogenesis is stored in the body as glycogen. Order the steps of glycogen synthesis. Not all descriptions accurately describe glycogen synthesis; therefore

Answer 1

The order of the steps of glycogen synthesis is:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The order the steps of glycogen synthesis is Pyrophosphatase converts PPi and water into two Pi

2. Glycogene synthase adds a glucose unit from UDP- glucose to glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and UDP

3. Glycogen synthase removes a glucose unit from a glycogen molecule producing a smaller glycogen molecule and UDP

4. ADP- glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose 1 phosphate and ATP to ADP- glucose and PPi

5. UDP- glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose 1 phosphate and UTP to UDP- glucose and PPi
