Epinephrine is a hormone that regulates cellular energy metabolism to break down glycogen into glucose. The signal transduction

pathway involves the production of cAMP. If caffeine blocks the activity of cAMP, what would happen to the signal transduction pathway?
The signaling pathway will amplify and produce more glucose.
The signaling pathway will conform to bind to the receptor cells.
The downstream components will be altered and ultimately affect production of glucose.
The downstream components will function normally.

Answer: The downstream components will be altered and ultimately affect production of glucose.

Explanation: Epinephrine is a hormone that belongs to a class of biomolecules called catecholamines. When it reaches the target cell it binds to a receptor that is connected to an enzyme called adenylate cyclase that converts ATP into cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate). cAMP plays an important role in the phosphorylation of proteins which alters their activity. In this case the activity of the enzyme that hydrolyses glycogen to glucose. When caffeine blocks the activity of cAMP it ultimately inhibits the action of the downstream components.

Shana is a competitive athlete who weighs 135 lb. she would like to plan a nutritionally adequate diet that provides enough carb
sashaice [31]

Carbohydrates are your body’s main source of energy. The amount of carbs a man should consume daily depends on his age and activity level. The Institute of Medicine suggests adults to eat at least 130 grams of carbs a day. But If you’re a competitive athlete like Shana, you need additional amount.

<span>A study made by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends a 2.3 to 4.5 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight each day, to athletes depending on the intensity of training. Therefore,  Shana who weighs 135 lbs, needs approximately  310.5 grams carbohydrates daily for her physical workouts. </span>

Describe the instance of conservation of matter and energy demonstration
natita [175]

Iced tea's energy increases while the energy of the glass decreases.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy is the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other forms

Iced tea's energy increases while the energy of the glass decreases because the ice is getting warmer so the glass is also getting warmer. meaning that the glass is decreasing in energy while the ice tea is increasing in energy.

Hence, iced tea's energy increases while the energy of the glass decreases.

What is the substrate of the enzyme amylase
Kitty [74]

Answer: Substrate of Amylase enzyme is starch.

Explanation: Amylase enzyme is used to speed the chemical reaction of hydrolysing starch, a polymer of glucose, to maltose. Starch is a polysaccharide so basically the amylase enzyme breaks down this polysaccharide (many sugars) with the aid of water to disaccharide (two sugars).
