a. glycogen is a protein and the enzyme, alpha-glucosidase, is not breaking it down into the nucleic acid glycerol .
b. glycogen is a polysaccharide and the enzyme, alpha-glucosidase, is not breaking it down into the monosaccharide glucose.
c. glycogen is a protein and the enzyme, alpha-glucosidase, is not breaking it down into the lipid glucose.
