Sequential cleavage from the non-reducing terminals of glucose molecules is required for both glycogen degradation and polysaccharides hydrolysis.
Why non-reducing end is selected for digestion?
A polysaccharide's non-reducing end is the one where an anomeric carbon participates in the glycosidic connection. The elimination of carbohydrate remnants one at a time out from the non-reducing terminal occurs during glycogenolysis and polysaccharides hydrolysis.
- For example, several enzymes are involved in glycogenolysis in the liver and muscle.
- An example of such an enzyme is glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyzes the successive dissociation of the alpha 1->4 glycosidic bond that connects two glucose molecules at a non-reducing terminal of glycogen. The last glucose residue is eliminated as alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.
That is why non-reducing end of glucose is chosen for digestion or breakdown of the carbohydrate polymer.

Kidneys for transplant can come from a living or a cadaver. Nephrectomy is the surgical removal of one or both kidneys. It is done by removing a healthy kidney from what you call a donor.They are usually to treat kidney diseases and injuries.

<span>Flatworms use a system of canals and tubes with the mouth as their excretory organ. They belong to the Phylum Platyheminthes. </span><span>Flatworms
can be cut in half creating two individuals by binary fission. Binary
fission is a type of asexual reproduction in which the offspring has the same
features and characteristics of the parent. During binary fission, the DNA
replicates into two and goes at the end of each membrane. And then the cell
membrane divides into two daughter cells. Then cytokinesis follow.</span>
