Quiz zum Vortrag
What occurs in the hormonal regulation of sugar metabolism?
- Adrenaline and insulin have opposite effects on the liver.
- Adrenaline stimulates the liver to absorb glucose from the bloodstream.
- Insulin stimulates muscles to produce glucose when needed.
- Adrenaline and insulin work together to reduce blood glucose levels.
Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding glycogen metabolism?
- At high glucose levels in the blood, insulin stimulates the excretion of glucose-1-phosphate from the liver cells.
- The insulin binding to body cells stimulates the uptake of glucose from the blood and the synthesis of glycogen.
- The conversion of glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate occurs via enzyme phosphoglucomutase.
- The insulin binding to liver cell receptors stops the release of glucose from liver cells by stopping the breakdown of glycogen due to the deactivation of the phosphorylase-a enzyme.
- Phosphorylated protein kinase A enzyme activates phosphorylase kinase enzyme, whereas it has an inhibitory effect on the activity of glycogen synthase.
