Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is a condensation reaction between the 1 and 4 carbon positions. It is under complex regulation that largely determines the state of either glycogenesis or glycogenolysis; this is described in the submenu.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the formation of glycogen from individual glucose molecules involves a large molecule being constructed from smaller units, this is an example of an anabolic reaction. Now we know the correct answer to our question. The conversion of glucose into glycogen is an example of anabolism.
