Which statement is true about the reaction catalyzed by glycogen synthase?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogen synthase requires a primer of four to eight linked glucose residues in order to initiate the synthesis of glycogen. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to the non-reducing end of the glycogen molecule, lengthening the chain by one glucose unit at a time. Glycogen branching is catalyzed by the enzyme glycogen branching enzyme.
