The reaction is Glycogen ----> glucose + glucose
The alpha bonding in glycogen is hydrolysed by water and this gives rise to two glucose monomers
- Glycogen is a polysaccharide which is a form of storage of carbohydrates in animals
- Many glucose monomers undergo condensation and form alpha glycosidic bonding to each other to form glycogen
- When the body has low blood sugar levels, the stored glycogen has to be broken down to produce glucose
- The alpha glycosidic bond undergoes hydrolysis to form glucose monomers
- The enzyme needed for this reaction is phosphorylase
- The reaction is acid hydrolysis
- The majority of glycogen is stored in muscle cells

<span>I think this is partly true and partly false. It is partly true because plants undergo in a process called photosynthesis and it is sunlight that makes them do this. It is partly not true because literally the sunlight can't be considered a food source because it actually don't give you food.</span>
