b
Glucokinase
QuestionChoice
Amylase is an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of starches and glycogen into simpler sugars. Whilst it plays a role in the digestion of glycogen in the digestive system, it is not the primary enzyme for glycogen degradation within cells.

d
Amylase
QuestionChoice
This is a crucial enzyme in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate, allowing for the release of glucose when needed. The other 2 primary enzymes are glycogen debranching enzyme & phosphoglucomutase.

a
Glycogen phosphorylase
QuestionChoice
Phosphofructokinase is an enzyme involved in glycolysis, specifically in the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. It is not a primary enzyme in glycogen degradation.

c
Phosphofructokinase
QuestionChoice
Hexokinase is an enzyme involved in the initial steps of glycolysis, where glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate. It is not directly involved in glycogen degradation.
