A cell forms glycogen from simple sugars when food is plentiful. Which statement describes this process?
A It is a catabolic reaction that is endothermic.
B It is an anabolic reaction that is endothermic.
C It is a catabolic reaction that is exothermic.
D It is an anabolic reaction that is exothermic.

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is-

B It is an anabolic reaction that is endothermic.

A cell forms glycogen from simple sugars when food is plentiful. In human beings, carbohydrates ( glucose) are stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and adipose tissue.

The formation of glycogen from glucose is called as glycogenesis and it requires large amount of energy ( endothermic reaction) as a larger molecule is formed from simple glucose molecules, which shows an anabolic reaction.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Answer:

b
