Question

Identify the enzymes that are required for the synthesis of a glycogen particle starting from glucose 6‑phosphate. A. branching enzyme glycogen B.synthase kinase glycogen C.synthase glycogen phosphorylase D.UDP‑glucose pyrophosphorylase

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A and C and D

Explanation:

Gylcogen is synthesized through a series of reactions through the assistance of enzymes. When glucose enter into the cell, it is converted into glucose 6-phosphate and then into glucose 1-phosphate and finally into uridine 5ʹ-diphosphate-glucose. In glycogenesis, glycogen is broken down into glucose 1-phosphate with the help of two glycogen phosphorylase. In the next stage the glycogen debranching enzyme untangles the branch points.

Hence, option A and C and D are correct
