Question

ater is prevented from entering the active site of glycogen phosphorylase. What are the advantages of excluding water from the active site? to prevent energy waste by conserving the ATP that would be needed to phosphorylate glucose to prevent the formation of glucose to prevent hydrolytic cleavage of glucose 1‑phosphate to prevent the unnecessary breakdown of glycogen to maintain energy supplies in muscle cells

Answer 1

The corect answer is to prevent unnecessary breakdown of glycogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The presence of water helps in the hydrolysis of energy rich componds and stored compounds inside the the body resulting in the generation of free energy and monomeric subunits.

The entry of water in the active site of glycogen phosphorylase result in the hydrolysis of glycogen to release glucose molecules from the later.

But glycogen breakdown or glycogenolysis occurs during energy demand of our body and when there is enough energy in our body at that time there is no necessity to break down glycogen.
