When glycogen is hydrolyzed, it forms
A
Cellulose
B
Sucrose
C
Polysaccharides
D
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 .
