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

- Both the statements I and II are true.
- Both the statements I and II are false.
- Statement I is true, but II is false.
- Statement I is false, but II is true.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
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.
