No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.

Does insulin mobilize liver glycogen to yield glucose?
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
What does glucose oxidation not yield?
oxidation of glucose, is the breakdown of glucose in ATP through four main process 1) glycolysis 2) preparation of pyruvic acid 3) citric acid cycle and 4) oxidative phosphorylation
What nutrient can yield energy the quickest in the citric acid cycle?
glucose
Calculate the energy yield of aerobic cellular respiration per glucose molecule?

How do animals store carbohydrates?
Living organisms have two major ways to store energy. They use molecules such as, glycogen and triglycerides, to store energy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Lipids also store energy in living organisms.
Why is the energy yield lower when a unsaturated fatty acid has undergone beta oxidation?
Because in the first reaction of beta oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids a trans double bound is formed from cis-double bound by an izomerase without formation of FADH2. Thus the first oxidation step is skiped and hence less energy yield.
What are the steps in energy conversion?
Glucose taken into the cell, glucose broken down to yield ATP, ATP used for cellular activities.
What type of organic compound provides the best energy storage?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar) and as intermediate-term energy storage (starch for plants and glycogen for animals). Fats and oils function in long-term energy storage. Fats yield 9.3 Kcal/gm, while carbohydrates yield 3.79 Kcal/gm. Fats thus store six times as much energy as glycogen.
A gram of fatty acid can yield how many more times the energy as one gram of glucose?

What enzyme regulates glycogenolysis?
Actually, three are the enzymes that intervene during glycogen breakdown (glycogenolysis).First, Glycogen phosphorylase (or simply phosphorylase) that catalyzes glycogen phosphorolysis (bond cleavage by the substitution of a phosphate group) to yield glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) releasing only one glucose residue that is at least five residues from a ramification point.The second enzyme is the Glycogen debranching enzymethat removes glycogen's branches, thereby permiting the glycogen phosphorylase reaction (see above) to go to completion. This enzymes also hydrolyzes alpha(1-6)-linked glucosyl units to yield glucose.Finally, Phosphoglucomutase that converts G1P to G6P which is also formed in the first step of glycolysis through the action of either hexokinase or glucokinase.
Oxidation of alkanes?
Simple oxidation of alkenes yield carbon dioxide and water.
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and the cellular respiration?
In Photosynthesis, plants use the sun's energy as light to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose. In cellular respiration, glucose is ultimately broken down to yield carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from this process is stored as ATP molecules.
