Answer and Explanation:

UGA, UAG and UAA are the stop codons in the genetic code. During translation, these stop codons signal the end of the polypeptide chain. These codons do not code for an amino acid. Therefore they are called termination codons or nonsense codons. These stop codons have been called as ochre (UAA), amber (UAG) and umber or opal (UGA). Richard Epstein and Charles Steinberg revealed Amber (UAG). They named it amber while remaining two stop codons named as ochre (UAA) and opal (UAG) to maintain the theme of ‘colors names’. Stop codons release the new polypeptide chain from the ribosome, during protein synthesis. This happens because there are no tRNAs with anticodon corresponding to the stop codon.

Refer to Animation: Cell Signaling: Adrenaline Signaling in the Heart Muscle. Adrenaline stimulates an increase in heart rate by
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''G-protein coupled receptors on the surface of cardiac muscle cells.''

Explanation:

Adrenaline is a catecholamine whose pharmacological effects occur at alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. The mechanism of action of all beta adrenergic receptors is the activation of a G protein that activates adenylyl cyclase and increases cyclic AMP production. Adrenaline by b-adrenergic stimulus increases the contractile force of the myocardium (positive inotropic action) and increases the frequency in which the myocardium contracts (positive chronotropic action), consequently there is an increase in cardiac work, with a greater demand for oxygen due to the myocardium to be able to contract. Therefore, the blood flow to the heart is indirectly increased, bringing with it a greater supply of oxygen.
