Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the bicyclic control system for the phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase?

  • To store more glycogen in the muscles
  • To slow down the mobilization of glycogen
  • To prevent the mobilization of glycogen
  • To amplify a small initial signal for rapid glycogen mobilization (correct)

    • What is the result of epinephrine binding to β-adrenergic receptors on the surface of muscle cells?

  • Release of glucose into the bloodstream
  • Preservation of glycogen in the muscles
  • Mobilization of stored glycogen (correct)
  • Activation of glucagon receptors

    • Why don't muscles release glucose into the bloodstream?

  • Muscles lack glucagon receptors (correct)
  • Muscles lack β-adrenergic receptors
  • Muscles lack hexokinase
  • Muscles lack glycogen phosphorylase

    • What is the role of hexokinase in muscle cells?
