Break down of glycogen into glucose is an example of catabolism .
Glycogen is a polymer, glucose is a monomer. It is degradation pathway, hence called catabolism.
The formation of glycogen from blood glucose is an example of anabolism.
It is the reverse of CATABOLISM, the monomer Glucose units polymerise to form polymer , glycogen. It is the constructive pathway, hence called ANABOLISM.
