What is the difference between glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Glycogenolysis is when the glucagon binds to the glucagon receptors , the liver cells convert the glycogen polymer nto individual glucose molecules and release into the bloodstream, while Gluconeogenesis is is the biosynthesis of new glucose

∙ 13y agoglucogenesis is the process of formation of glucose from its polymers but gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose from non-glucose compound like amino acids, and other carbohydrates which do not contain glucose and monomer.

∙ 13y agoGlycolysis is the breaking up of glucose molecules. Glycogenesis is the process of making glucose molecules.
The prefix glyco- means glucose/sugar
The suffix -lysis means breakdown
The root word -gen- means beginning of
Glycogenesis
Glycogen = storage form of glucose
Gen = beginning of
=> The process of making glycogen; or the process of storing glucose in the form of glycogen when there is an excess of glucose

∙ 11y agogluconeogensis = making glucose from non sugar precursor
No such thing as glyconeogenesis
There is glycogenesis = production of glycogen

What are the precursors of glycogenolysis?
Alpha cells in the pancreas detect low blood sugar and secrete glucagon. Glucagon travels to the liver to stimulate breakdown of glycogen reserves (glycogenolysis) and stimulate gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose).
What cellular process results in the making of carbohydrates?
Glycogen, a polymer of glucose, is formed as a storage compound in the body. Glycogen may be broken down (glycogenolysis) to glucose for use in respiration. If what you want is a process that forms carbohydrates from non-carbohydrate sources, that would be gluconeogenesis.
Does glycogenolysis occur in the cytosol of the cell?
Yes
What nutrient undergoes gluconeogenesis?
Proteins
what is glycogenolysis and what does it have to do with?
Glycogenolysis is the term for when the body breaks down glycogen to produce glucose. It is regulated based on the body's blood sugar levels. It also is connected to the flight-or-fight response, as the release of epinephrine stimulates it.
How glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis are alike?
because at the end of both metabolic processes glucose is produced.
What are the precursors of glycogenolysis?
Alpha cells in the pancreas detect low blood sugar and secrete glucagon. Glucagon travels to the liver to stimulate breakdown of glycogen reserves (glycogenolysis) and stimulate gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose).
How does working out affect metobolism and pulse?
Once your pulse/heart rate increased during working out, your metabolism speeds up too. During the process of metabolism, there is gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis involved. This is the normal mechanism of body to produce energy.
Is insulin a steroid hormone?
Insulin is an anabolic hormone as: 1) it promotes glycogen synthesis & inhibits glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in carbohydrates. 2) it promotes lipogenesis & inhibits lipolysis. 3) promotes protein synthesis & inhibits protein degradation
What is the difference between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH, while gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors such as amino acids, lactate, or glycerol. Glycolysis is a catabolic process, whereas gluconeogenesis is an anabolic process that occurs mainly in the liver and kidneys to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting or low carbohydrate intake.
What is the formation of glucose from proteins and fats?
Gluconeogenesis
What cellular process results in the making of carbohydrates?
Glycogen, a polymer of glucose, is formed as a storage compound in the body. Glycogen may be broken down (glycogenolysis) to glucose for use in respiration. If what you want is a process that forms carbohydrates from non-carbohydrate sources, that would be gluconeogenesis.
What promotes glycogenolysis?
Glucagon
When glycogenolysis will occur?
At the fasting time
The process of glycogenolysis is an example of?
Phosphorolysis
Where does glycogenolysis occur?
It occurs in the liver.
What is the process called when making glucose from non carbohydrate substances within the liver?
gluconeogenesis
