Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glucose. The reaction takes place in the hepatocytes and the myocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the pathway by which glucose degrades into lactate (LAC), gluconeogenesis is the pathway by which glucose is generated from pyruvate and/or LAC, and glycogenesis is the pathway by which glycogen is synthesised from glucose (Nordlie et al, 1999).
