Question

The hormone glucagon and the hormone and neurotransmitter epinephrine aid in maintaining blood glucose levels. Classify the statements as describing glucagon only, epinephrine only, or both glucagon and epinephrine.
1. stimulates muscle cells to break down glycogen
2. released in response to stress
3. the receptor has seven transmembrane α helices
secreted by pancreatic α cells
4. polypeptide
5. amino acid derivative
6. inhibits glycolysis and stimulates gluconeogenesis in the liver
7. released in response to a drop in blood glucose levels

Answer 1

Answer:

Glucagon.

The receptor has seven transmembrane a helics secreted by pancreatic a cells.

Polypeptide.

Stimulate glycolysis and glycogenesis in the liver.

EPINEPHRINE.

Stimulated muscles cell to breakdown glucogen.

Amino acid derivative.

Released in response to stress.

EPINEPHRINE AND GLUCAGON.

Released in response to a drop in glucose levels.

Explanation:

Epinephrine is called adrenaline hormone, it is secreted by the medula of adrenal gland. It is an amino acid derivative, it stimulate muscles cells to breakdown glucogen. This hormone is released in response to body stress.

Glugagon is a peptide hormone that is secreted by alpa helics of pancreases. It prevent blood glucose from dropping. It stimulate the conversion of glucogen to glucose in the liver which is release to the blood stream.

The two hormones is released in response to drop in glucose levels to increase glucose concentration in the blood.
