Glucose Metabolism
Energy Production
Glycolysis
Glucose breaks into smaller molecules
Happens in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Produces a small amount of energy (ATP).
Aerobic Respiration
Happens when oxygen is available.
Produces lots of energy (ATP).
Conversion
Fat
Formation
Excess glucose is converted into fat and stored in fat tissues.
Protein Formation
Glucose can help build certain amino acids.
Storage
Glycogenesis
Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen for later use.
Release
Glycogenolysis
When the body needs energy, glycogen is broken back into glucose.
