Question

Select EACH pathway in liver cells that would be stimulated by low blood sugar levels.

fatty acid synthesis

glycogen degradation

fatty acid oxidation

ketogenesis

glycogen synthesis

Answer 1

Answer=

Pathway in liver cells that would be stimulated by low blood sugar levels are

Glycogen degradation= is also called as glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen into glucose molecules.

This process takes place in liver cells ,during this pathway,glycogen which is primary carbohydrate stored in liver and muscle cells of animals ,is broken down into glucose to provide immediate energy and maintain blood glucose levels during fasting.this pathway occurs when there is low level of glucose is present.

======================================================================

Ketogenesis =is also called as ketone body synthesis,occur in mainly in the mitochondria of liver cells,and synthesis can occur in response to an anavailability of blood glucose,such as during fasting.

it means that this pathway takes place when there is low level of glucose.
