Answer: Please see answer below
Explanation:
The steps of glycogen degradation is as follows from this order.
--->Hormonal signals trigger glycogen breakdown.
1. Glycogen is (de)branched by hydrolysis of α‑1,6‑glycosidic linkages.
2. Blocks consisting of three glucosyl residues are moved by remodeling of α‑1,4‑glycosidic linkages.
3.[Glucose 1‑phosphate is cleaved from the non reducing ends of glycogen and converted to glucose 6‑phosphate.
--->Glucose 6‑phosphate undergoes further metabolic processing
The degradation of Glycogen follows three steps:
(1) the release of glucose 1-phosphate from glycogen,
(2) the remodeling of the glycogen substrate to permit further degradation, and
(3) the conversion of glucose 1-phosphate into glucose 6-phosphate for further metabolism.

Answer:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.
Explanation:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.
Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.
AMU:
Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.
This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale
relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu
relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu
relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu
relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
A chemical reaction is the process in which atoms present in the starting substances rearrange to give new chemical combinations present in the substances formed by the reaction. These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products.
