Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles. This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glucose.
