What is the difference between glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis?

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


Which process allows glucose generation from non-carbohydrate sources?

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.


Can the body convert glycerol into glucose?

Yes, glucose is stored in the body as glycerol. When the body needs more glucose it will convert some glycerol into glucose and put it into the bloodstream. No, glucose is not stored in the body as glycerol. It is stored in the body as glycogen. Glycerol is the backbone of triglycerides, and in order to be used for energy, It must be converted into glycerol-3-phosphate, after that may enter the pathway of glycolysis, or may enter the process of gluconeogenesis (generation of glucose from non-carbohydrates source).

How do cells that cannot carry out photosynthesis get energy?

The cells that do not photosynthesize must be heterotrophic, meaning they must take and break down glucose molecules from other things to get energy. It will be different in how each cell gets the energy, but most non-photosynthesizing cells require glucose from a source that isn't sunlight. For example, in humans, fruits, meats, and other foods (from cows, trees, pigs, etc.) are how we get our glucose and energy. Through a process called aerobic respiration (anaerobic for non-oxygen using cells), the human breaks down the glucose into usable energy.


Is glucose oxidizing sugar?

No glucose is non-reducing sugar.
