biochemistry problems?

1Which of the following statements is not true?

   a.   Glycogen phosphorylase likely will be inactive following a meal rich in carbohydrates

   b.   Glycogen is comprised of glucose residues joined by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkages

   c.   Glucose from glycogen gives 1 more ATP in glycolysis compared to free glucose

   d.   Glycogen synthase is responsible for glycogen buildup

   e.   All are true

2) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is an important allosteric activator of phosphofructokinase activity.

True
False

and would you explain what the allosteric activators are as well?

Explanation / Answer

1. b. Glycogen is comprised of glucose residues joined by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkages.

In glycogen (polymer of glucose), the glucose residues are joined by alpha 1, 4 glycosidic linkage.

2. FALSE.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is an important allosteric activator of phosphofructokinase
