While running the 100-meter dash, Elisa uses a lot of energy and begins to use the glycogen stores in her muscles. The chemical reaction for breaking down glycogen to obtain glucose to use for energy production is shown here. The glycogen polymer is broken down in a reaction involving alpha-1,6-glucosidase to form a glucose monomer and glycogen. Which of the following statements best describes this reaction? A) The glycogen polymer undergoes hydrolysis to form a glucose monomer and glycogen.
B) The glycogen polymer undergoes dehydration synthesis to form a glucose monomer and a glycogen.
C) The glycogen polymer undergoes enzyme lysis and loses its ability to function as storage for carbohydrates.
D) The glycogen polymer’s alpha glycosidic bonding is broken by water and results in two glucose monomers.
