Exam 4 Flashcards

1
Q

What happens to most of the glucose-6-phosphate in liver versus muscle tissue?

A

In the muscle it is used for energy, in liver it is converted to glucose to be transported in the blood to other cells. It can be converted back to glycogen in the muscle and liver if not needed
