Enzyme activity stops when the enzyme reaches a point _______ glucose residues from a branch point, which is a(n) ________ linkage.3. The ________ of the debranching enzymes moves three glucose residues to another branch, connecting them by a(n) ________ linkage.4. The ________ activity of the debranching enzyme removes the glucose at its ________ linkage.5. The enzyme ________ continues removing terminal glucose residuesAnswer Choices: Glucosidase, Phosphoglucomutase, three, four, glycogen phosphorylase, alpha (1,6), alpha (1,4), transferase
