Glucagon is a hormone that is released when the level of glucose in the blood is low. Glucagon uses a G protein signaling pathwa

y to promote glycogenolysis. Put the steps of the signal transduction pathway in order from the releasing of glucagon into the blood to the promotion of glycogenolysis. Glucagon is released into blood.

NOTE: the steps of the signal transduction pathway to be arranged is in the attached file.

Answer:

The correct signal transduction pathway in order from the releasing of glucagon into the blood to the promotion of glycogenolysis includes:

- Glucagon binds extracellulary to G- protein coupled receptor.

-G protein releases GDP and binds FTP

-Activated G protein activates adenylate (adenylate) cyclase.

-Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP.

-Cyclic AMP activates protein kinase A

- phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates glucogen phosphorylase, an enzyme needed for glycogenolysis.

Explanation:

As carbohydrates from food consumed is digested, it's end product, the glucose, is assimilated into the cells for energy production through the help of insulin in a process called glycolysis. Excess of glucose is stored in the liver as GLYCOGEN.

In cases where there is reduced sugar in the blood (hypoglycemic state) another pathway (known as glycogenolysis through

GLUCAGON hormone) is initiated to elevate the concentration of glucose in the blood.

Which surgical procedure uses a blood vessel from another part of the body to channel blood around an occluded coronary artery?
AysviL [449]
The surgical procedure that uses a blood vessel from another part of the body to channel blood around an occluded coronary artery is  the coronary Artery Bypass Graft. This is a procedure that restores blood flow to the heart muscle by diverting the flow of blood around a section of a blocked artery in the heart. Specialists use this procedure to treat people who have severe coronary heart disease, a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries.

(Ch. 27.4) Many people are allergic to substances in the environment, such as ragweed pollen, as well as foods, such as peanuts.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response.

Explanation:

When a person is allergic to a substance, his or her immune system recognizes a harmless substance, such as components in food, pollen, or dust, as a treat. As a consequence, it starts an immune response that leads to inflammation. The substance that starts the allergic reaction is called an allergen, and it is not a pathogen because it is not a real threat to the body since it does not infect cells. When the allergen enters the body, it binds to antibodies that are in contact with a special type of cell. These specific cells will release a substance known as histamine. Histamine will produce an inflammatory reaction affecting different tissues in our body. For example, it can make us sneeze, have a running nose, swelling parts of our body, have itchiness and redness, amongst others.
