Biology

Answer:

The hormone epinephrine binds to a specific receptor on the plasma membrane of the liver cell.

Explanation:

Glycogen is the body's rapid energy supply, which is how glucose, the main energy source of cells - derived from carbohydrate consumption - is stored. Glycogen is found mainly in muscle (muscle glycogen) and liver (liver glycogen), where liver cells are found.  Glycogen is important for the production of ATP in muscle cells and most other cell types.

Based on this information, researcher Earl Wilbur Sutherland Jr. decided to conduct a study to find out what were the effects of epinephrine during glycogen metabolism on liver cells. In this study, the researcher concluded that during the process of glycogen decomposition into glucose, the epinephrine hormone binds to a specific receptor on the liver cell plasma membrane.

Trace the path of a drop of venous blood from the left ankle to the right side of the brain.
-Dominant- [34]

Venous blood from the ankle travels and goes through tibial vein, popliteal vein, femoral vein, external iliac vein, common iliac vein, inferior vena cava to the heart (right side). From the heart to the right side of the brain, blood goes through the aorta and the brachiocephalic artery. The brachiocephalic artery the then divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery and both supply the right side of the brain.
