Answer:
Glycogen; glycogenolysis; glycogenesis; glycolysis; glyconeogenesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Biological macromolecules can be defined as a very large molecule (structure) that comprises of covalently bonded organic atoms and smaller molecular structures (monomers).
Biological macromolecules are categorized into four main categories and these includes;
I. Lipids.
II. Carbohydrates.
III. Nucleic acid.
IV. Proteins.
Catabolism can be defined as a metabolic process which typically involves the breaking down of complex molecules (inorganic and organic) into smaller and simpler molecules. This metabolic process (catabolism) is always accompanied with the release of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ADP).
Some examples of the complex molecules broken down through catabolism are proteins, nucleic acid, polysaccharides, and lipids; which are broken into the following smaller molecules such as amino acids, nucleotides, monosaccharides, and fatty acids respectively.
Some of the biological processes that occur during catabolism in living organisms include the following;
Glycogen is the polysaccharide form in which animals store carbohydrate; glycogenolysis refers to its breakdown into glucose; and glycogenesis refers to its synthesis from glucose. glycolysis refers to the series of chemical reactions used to break glucose into pyruvic acid; glyconeogenesis refers to the synthesis of glucose from a noncarbohydrate precursor.
