Glucagon

Protein

Glucose

ATP

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Glucagon

Glucagon triggers the conversion of glycogen to glucose, but it is not the final product.

B. Protein

Glycogen is a stored form of carbohydrate, not protein. The body does not convert glycogen into protein.

C. Glucose

When blood sugar levels fall, glycogen in the liver is broken down into glucose to restore normal blood sugar levels.

D. ATP

ATP is the energy currency of cells, which results from cellular respiration, not directly from glycogen breakdown.
