Is glycogenolysis anabolic or catabolic?
Answered
Glycogenolysis is a catabolic process. Catabolic processes involve the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy. In glycogenolysis, glycogen (a large polysaccharide) is broken down into glucose molecules, which are used by cells for energy production. This process is crucial for maintaining energy balance, especially during periods of fasting or physical activity.
