(a)
Interpretation:
Name of pathway should be given for synthesis of glucose.
Concept Introduction:
Digestion: A general term for the breakdown of food into small molecules.
Describe carbohydrate digestion, where it takes place in the body, the enzymes involved, and name the major products of the process.
Glucose is the major fuel for your body. It is the preferred fuel for the brain, working muscle cells, and red blood cells.
(b)
Interpretation:
Name of pathway should be given for synthesis of glucose from glycogen.
