Consider the following chemical reaction. the interconversion of glucose and glycogen. The forward process is catalyzed by insulin, and the reverse one by glucagon.)Insulin and glucagon are hormones, not enzymes, but one promotes production of glycogen, which is how we store glucose in our cells, while the other promotes the release of glucose from the stored glycogen. In this reaction, is insulin affecting the catabolic or the anabolic reaction? Consider the following chemical reaction.
