The correct answer is option B

In the lower stratosphere, ozone is found which consists of unusual type of oxygen molecule which cause heating of this layer due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation. The temperature rises as we move upward in the stratosphere. This causes temperature stratification due to which the convection and mixing is reduced and the layer of air becomes stable. Since the air is stable, the jet aircraft flies in the lower stratosphere to avoid disturbance and turbulence.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of adenylyl cyclase in the epinephrine signaling pathway?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accelerates the production of a second messenger.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme capable of converting ATP molecules into cyclic adenosine monophosphate AMP (cAMP). The cAMP molecule is considered to be a second messenger that transfers the hormonal signal (i.e., epinephrine) inside the cell. Subsequently, cAMP activates molecular signaling events by binding and thus activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Finally, this last protein (PKA) phosphorylates different proteins that control many diverse cellular processes.
