Glycogenolysis results in the breakdown of glycogen into molecules of glucose 1-phosphate. Why is the glycolytic gain from glycogenolysis considered greater than from free glucose? Select one: a. Phosphorolysis of glycogen to glucose 1-phosphate saves 1 ATP from the preparatory phase b. Interconversion between glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate does not require ATP c. The second priming reaction of the preparatory phase is bypassed d. Inorganic phosphate is used to generate an additional ATP in the payoff phase

What is the rationale for the inhibition of muscle glycogen phosphorylase by glucose 6 -phosphate when glucose 1 -phosphate is the product of the phosphorylase reaction?
Activation of glucose for subsequent reaction in glycogen synthesis occurs through: A. Reaction of glucose 1-phosphate with UTP to form UDP-glucose B. Phosphorylation of glucose 1-phosphate to form glucose 1,6-biphosphate C. Spontaneous uncoupled ATP hydrolysis D. Interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phospate E. None of the above

Gluconeogenesis requires the use of 6 nucleotide triphosphate molecules,whereas the glycolytic pathway only yields a net production of 2 ATP molecules during the breakdown of glucose. Why, then would it ever be favorable for the human body to ever produce glucose through the gluconeogenic pathway?
