Ans: Cells are so small because it allows them to have a better surface area to volume ratio. This makes it much easier for the cell to bring in necessary nutreints and excrete wastes. Also the smaller the cell is, the less time it takes to replicate the small cell as opposed to a bigger cell.
<h2>cAMP and glucose mobilization</h2>
Explanation:
It would maintain high cAMP level and elevate glucose mobilization
- Phosphodiesterase is an effector enzyme which degrades secondary messenger cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate)
- Here in this case an inhibitor is inhibiting the phosphodiesterase therefore cAMP level will increase
- As cAMP level rise it activates a protein called protein kinase A which phosphorylates phosphorylase kinase and activates it
- Phosphorylase kinase becomes active that phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase and makes it active,glycogen phosphorylase catalyse breakdown of glycogen(in liver and muscle cells)
- In liver cells breakdown of glycogen occurs and glucose 1 phosphate gets converted into glucose and supplied to whole body through blood
Na: positive; OH: negative
