Describe how these chemical reactions assist with blood sugar homeostasis: gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and glycogenesis
What will be an ideal response?
Gluconeogenesis is a reaction in which the liver uses non-carbohydrates sources (such as fats and proteins) to produce glucose. Glycogenolysis is a reaction in which the liver breaks down stored glycogen and turns it into glucose. Both of these reactions response to hormones that are meant to raise blood sugar levels. Glycogenesis is a reaction in which the liver turns excess glucose in the blood into a large polysaccharide called glycogen. This type of reaction removes glucose from the blood and lowers blood sugar levels.
