The order of the steps of glycogen synthesis is:

Explanation:

1. The order the steps of glycogen synthesis is Pyrophosphatase converts PPi and water into two Pi

2. Glycogene synthase adds a glucose unit from UDP - glucose to glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and UDP

3. Glycogen synthase removes a glucose unit from a glycogen molecule producing a smaller glycogen molecule and UDP

4. ADP - glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose 1 phosphate and ATP to ADP - glucose and PPi

5. UDP - glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose 1 phosphate and UTP to UDP - glucose and PPi
