When glycogen is hydrolyzed, it forms
|
Cellulose
|
|
Sucrose
|
|
Polysaccharides
|
|
Glucose
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glucose. The reaction takes place in the hepatocytes and the myocytes. The process is under the regulation of two key enzymes: phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase.
Detailed explanation-2: -The products of the enzymatic hydrolysis of glycogen have been assumed in the past to be maltose and glucose arising from inter-mediate dextrins and maltose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Breakage of the -1, 4-glycosidic bonds by acids leads to the hydrolysis of cellulose polymers, resulting in the sugar molecule glucose or oligosaccharides .
