## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [A]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Carbohydrate Metabolism
	**Related Topics**: Enzymes, Polysaccharides, Photosynthesis
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of biochemistry, specifically carbohydrates and enzymes.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	- Hydrolysis of glycogen.
	- Enzyme involved in glycogen hydrolysis.
	- Alternate name for amylum.
	- Polysaccharide product of photosynthesis.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the term for glycogen hydrolysis.
		Reasoning: Hydrolysis is the breakdown of a molecule by adding water. Glycogenolysis is the specific term for breaking down glycogen.
		Formula/Rule: Glycogen + H2O --> Glucose
	2. Identify the enzyme involved in glycogen hydrolysis.
		Reasoning: Amylases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen.
		Formula/Rule: Amylases break down glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides.
	3. Determine what amylum refers to.
		Reasoning: Amylum is an older term for starch.
		Key Point: Amylum is a plant-based storage polysaccharide.
	4. Identify the polysaccharide produced by photosynthesis.
		Reasoning: Plants produce glucose during photosynthesis, which is then polymerized to form starch as a storage polysaccharide.
		Result: Starch
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: I-Glycogenolysis (correct term for glycogen breakdown), II-Amylases (correct enzyme), III-Starch (correct alternate name), IV-Starch (correct product of photosynthesis)
[B] :x: I-Starch (incorrect), II-Amylases (correct), III-Glycogenolysis (incorrect), IV-Starch (correct)
[C] :x: I-Starch (incorrect), II-Glycogenolysis (incorrect), III-Starch (correct), IV-Amylases (incorrect)
[D] :x: I-Amylases (incorrect), II-Glycogenolysis (incorrect), III-Starch (correct), IV-Starch (correct)
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing glycogenolysis with glycogenesis. [How to avoid]: Understand that lysis means breakdown, and genesis means synthesis.
		2.[Error 2]: Thinking amylases act only on starch. [How to avoid]: Amylases can break down both starch and glycogen.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that 'lysis' means breakdown, especially in biochemistry.
		2.[Memory aid]: Associate 'amylum' with plant-based starch storage.
