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

Since Joe skipped breakfast and has not eaten, his body needs to find a source of energy to maintain his blood glucose levels. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and muscle to release glucose into the bloodstream, providing energy for the body to use. This process would be occurring in Joe's body as he sits in class. The other options - protein synthesis, glycogenesis, and lipogenesis - are involved in the formation or storage of energy molecules and would not be occurring in Joe's body at this time.
