Glycogen synthesis is an endergonic reaction that utilizes UTP to form UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose is then turned into glycogen by the glycogen synthase enzyme.

Formation of glycogen by the liver cell?
The formation of glycogen by the liver cell is one of the best examples of anabolic processes. This is a process through which glucose is converted into glycogen.
Within the liver cells of animals glycogen is most directly converted to glucose what process?
Enzymatic hydrolysis
When a cell needs energy's does it breaks down the chemical glycogen?
Glycogen is made and stored in the cells of the liver and muscles until it is needed for energy. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown into glucose. Glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel.
What substance is formed as a result of the chemical breakdown of glycogen?
Glycogenolysis, breakdown of glycogen, produces glucose-6-phosphate, which in liver is further converted to glucose-1-phosphate that can leave the hepatocytes to the blood. This doesn't happen in muscle cells, so the glucose-6-phosphate is used in glycolysis instead during muscle contraction to produce ATP for myosin.
Can compounds be broken down only by chemical means?
yes, they can only be broken down by chemical means
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen when broken down during digestion?
carbohydrates
What is the name of the process by which glycogen is converted to pyruvatei?
name of the process by which glycogen is converted to pyruvate
What two chemical compounds are used to store energy for Cells?
Atp, Gtp, Utp, Cellulose and Glycogen for starts.
Where is excess glucose in the body stored?
It is stored in the liver as glycogen. It is converted into glycogen by insulin.
Excess glucose taken up by the liver is converted to?
glycogen
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
The energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds in a series of linked chemical reactions called a?
biochemical pathway
In the liver galactose and fructose are converted to what?
glycogen
What glucose that is converted to what is stored in the liver?
glycogen
What is Glycogen converted into when it leaver the liver?
Glucose
What Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into .?
chemical energy stored in the organic compounds as a result of photosynthesis
What is unused glucose that is converted to is stored in the liver?
glycogen
