Which of the following is not a possible fate of glucose-6-phosphate?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

When glycogen is broken down, the individual units that are removed are glucose-1-phosphate units. These are then transformed into glucose-6-phosphate molecules which are of extreme biological importance because of their ability to enter various different pathways. These pathways include glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. The urea cycle, however, has to do with amino acids/proteins.
