Explanation

Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, glucogenic amino acids, and fatty acids. Glycogenolysis is the process by which glycogen stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals, is broken down into glucose to provide immediate energy and to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting.
