What Is The Advantage Of Breaking Down Glycogen By Phosphorolysis?
Why is phosphorolytic cleavage of glycogen energetically advantageous? If you did a hydrolytic cleavage, you would make glucose. If you did a phosphorolytic cleavage would yield G6P. Going directly to G6P will skip the hexokinase step which is one less ATP the body has to use. Why it is advantageousRead More →
