Question

Statement I: Epinephrine attaches to liver cell membrane receptors and activates adenylate cyclase. 
Statement II: The cyclic-AMP activates phosphorylation and converts glycogen to glucose.

• A. Both the statements I and II are true.
• B. Both the statements I and II are false.
• C. Statement I is true, but II is false.
• D. Statement I is false, but II is true.

Hint:

Remember, the liver's response to epinephrine via the adenylate cyclase pathway is crucial for rapid energy release in acute stress situations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Understanding the biochemical pathway. Both statements correctly describe the action of epinephrine on liver cells via the adenylate cyclase pathway leading to the conversion of glycogen to glucose, a vital process in energy mobilization during stress or fight-or-flight response.
