Ayoung child has recently been diagnosed with pompe disease, which causes severe muscle weakness and muscle tone. the patient lacks the enzyme alpha-glucosidase (gaa). a lack of this enzyme leads to accumulation of the carbohydrate glycogen in muscle cells.
based on your knowledge of biological macromolecules, which argument best supports why this disease is occurring?
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.
d. glycogen is a polysaccharide and the enzyme, alpha-glucosidase, is not breaking it down into its monomer, fatty acids and glycerol.
