Solution

Glycogen metabolism is activated by AMP (Adenosine monophosphate) and Glucose 6-phosphate.

Here are the steps:

  1. Glycogen metabolism involves two processes: glycogenesis (the synthesis of glycogen) and glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen).

  2. Glycogenesis is stimulated when glucose levels are high. Glucose 6-phosphate is a key activator of glycogen synthase, the enzyme that catalyzes the addition of glucose molecules to glycogen.

  3. Glycogenolysis is stimulated when energy levels are low. AMP, which is a signal of low energy status, activates glycogen phosphorylase, the enzyme that breaks down glycogen.

So, glycogen metabolism is activated by AMP and Glucose 6-phosphate.
