State
Stored glycogen and dietary sugars other than glucose, like fructose and galactose, convert into glycolysis intermediates and enter that same pathway.
Show
When blood glucose drops, liver and muscle cells break glycogen down into a glucose derivative feeding directly into glycolysis.
Watch for
These sugars join glycolysis partway through, at the point their structure matches an existing intermediate.
