The major fate of glucose-6 phosphate in tissue in a well fed state is a) Hydrolysis to glucoseb) Conversion to glycogenc) Isomerization to fructose 6 phosphated) Conversion to ribulose 5 phosphate
Correct Answer: bd
Description: In the fed state, glucose-6-phosphate has 3 fates:-
Metabolized in glycolysis
Most of the surplus glucose-6-phosphate is stored as glycogen
A small amount (5-10%) enters HMP shunt (produces ribulose 5-phosphate)
First priority is to metabolize glucose-6-phosphate through glycolysis to fulfill energy requirement of the body.
Once the energy requirement is met, most of the surplus glucose-6-phosphate is stored as glycogen. A small amount of glucose-6-phosphate also enters in HMP shunt.
