During glycogenolysis, glycogen is broken down and converted to glucose-6-phosphate, which can enter glycolysis or be used by the liver to raise blood glucose levels. Complete the following sentences describing glycogen breakdown. Move the appropriate term to each blank. Some terms will be used more than once, and two terms will not be used at all.



1. The enzyme ________ removes terminal glucose residues from glycogen by cleaving ________ linkages.



2. Enzyme activity stops when the enzyme reaches a point _______ glucose residues from a branch point, which is a(n) ________ linkage.



3. The ________ of the debranching enzymes moves three glucose residues to another branch, connecting them by a(n) ________ linkage.



4. The ________ activity of the debranching enzyme removes the glucose at its ________ linkage.



5. The enzyme ________ continues removing terminal glucose residues



Answer Choices: Glucosidase, Phosphoglucomutase, three, four, glycogen phosphorylase, alpha (1,6), alpha (1,4), transferase

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

1 The enzyme α-1,6- glucosidase removes terminal glucose residues from glycogen by cleaving α-1,6-glycosidic linkages.

2 Enzyme activity stops when the enzyme reaches a point releases 3 glucose residues from a branch point which is a α-1,6-glycosidic linkage.

3 The 4-α-D-glucanotransferase of de branching enzyme moves three glucose residues to another branch connecting them by a α-1,4-glycosidic linkage.

4 The glucosidase activity of the debranching enzyme removes the glucose at its α-1,6-glycosidic linkage.

5 The enzyme glycogen phosphorylase continues removing terminal glucose residues.
