Identify the enzymes that are required for the synthesis of a glycogen particle starting from glucose 6-phosphate. glycogen synthase kinase glycogen phosphorylase glycogenin phosphoglucomutase pyrophosphatase

Glycogen synthase requires a primer. A primer was formerly thought to be provided when the existing glycogen granules are divided between the daughter cells produced by cell division. In other words, parts of the original glycogen molecule were simply passed from generation to generation. Would this strategy have been successful in passing glycogen stores from generation to generation? How are new glycogen molecules now known to be synthesized?
