Glycogen is the body’s storage form of glucose. When glycogen is degraded, glucose 1-P is formed. Glucose 1-P can then be isomerized to glucose 6-P. Starting with glucose 1-P and ending with two molecules of pyruvate, what is the net yield of glycolysis in terms of ATP and NADH formed?

Describe how glucose-6-phosphate formed by glycogen breakdown in the liver converts to glucose by glucose-6-phosphatase and how the newly formed glucose leaves the liver cells. Describe why this process allows for separation from glycolysis.

In cells especially those in the liver, glucose molecules are bonded together to form glycogen. Why?

1. Liver metabolism during prolonged fasting. A) What happens when your glucose stored as liver glycogen is gone. What options does the liver have to provide fuel to the brain? B) During starvation muscle tissue is at first used, but then there is a shift to another fuel source. This saves muscle tissue necessary for life (such as muscles of the diaphragm needed for breathing). What is this alternative fuel source?
