D)glucose-6-phosphate.
E)glucose.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

UDP-glucose acts as an intermediate between glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen during glycogen synthesis. Glucose-1-phosphate reacts with uridine triphosphate (UTP) to form UDP-glucose, which is then used to form glycogen chains through the action of glycogen synthase. Therefore, option A is the best choice. The other options are not involved in glycogen synthesis.
