The liver provides glucose to the rest of the body between


The liver provides glucose to the rest of the body between meals. It does so by breaking down glycogen ,forming glucose 6-phosphate in the penultimate step. Glucose 6-phosphate is converted to glucose by splitting of the phosphate. Why do you suppose the liver removes the phosphate by hydrolysis, rather than reversing the reaction by which glucose 6-phosphate is formed from glucose? By reversing this reaction , the liver could generate both glucose and ATP
