A) lipid catabolism.
B) glycogenolysis.
C) gluconeogenesis.
D) glycogen synthesis.
E) release of glucose into the circulatory system.
Glycogenolysis
Glycogenolysis is the metabolic process of breaking down glycogen into glucose, which serves as an important energy source for the body during physical activity or between meals.
Gluconeogenesis
The metabolic process by which organisms produce glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates such as amino acids and glycerol, especially significant during periods of fasting or intense exercise.
Glycogen Synthesis
The process of converting glucose into glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscle cells for energy.
