Which of the following statements is true regarding glycogen phosphorylase? Glycogen phosphorylase in muscle is allosterically activated by ATP and G6P. Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the cleavage of both alpha1, 4) and alpha (1,6) bonds. Glycogen phosphorylase is activated by both phosphorylase kinase and PKA. All of the above are false

Which one of the following statements about mammalian glycogen synthase is NOT correct? A) It is especially predominant in liver and muscle B) The donor molecule is a sugar nucleotide C) The UDP intermediate provides binding energy to reduce the activation barrier for the reaction D) This enzyme adds glucose units to a free carbon 4 of glucose unit at the end of glycogen branches E) This enzyme requires GTP as a source of free energy because the reaction is making a bond
