Question

There is as much energy used to add a phosphate group by means of phosphorolysis, as the energy required adding a phosphate using atp.
a. true
b. false

Answer 1

The correct answer is (B) False.

There is not as much energy used to add a phosphate group by means of phosphorolysis, as the energy required adding a phosphate using ATP.

What is Phosphorolysis?

• Glycogen phosphorolysis is a process that occurs at the start of glycogen breakdown. As a result, glucose can be produced from glycogen.
• Glycogen phosphorolylsis catalyzes glycogen phosphorolytic cleavage, resulting in glycogen-1-phosphate.
• However, when cleaving glucose from glycogen, a non-reducing terminal is eliminated.
• Furthermore, phosphoglucomutase can convert glucose-1-phosphate generated from glycogen into G6P, allowing it to go directly to glycolysis.
• It should be noted that going straight to glycolysis eliminates the need for ATP to convert glucose to G6P.
• If the glucose created by glycolysis is consumed, three ATPs are produced.
• Phosphorolysis requires less energy than ATP to add a phosphate group.
