Joe skipped breakfast this morning because he was late for class. While he sits in class, which metabolic process is occurring?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogenolysis is the metabolic process occurring in this scenario because Joe skipped breakfast and his body needs to break down stored glycogen to release glucose into his bloodstream for energy. Protein synthesis, glycogenesis, and lipogenesis involve the building and storing of molecules, which are not necessary processes during class time.
