I think the answers are A, B, and C.
Answer:
A. Will only phosphorylate glycogen synthase (GS) after GS has been phosphorylated by casein kinase.
Explanation:
Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) is a type of enzyme capable of phosphorylating serine and threonine residues on the glycogen synthase (GS). The insulin hormone activates the synthesis of glycogen by dephosphorylating GS, but it is a mechanism that depends on the previous phosphorylation of GS by Casein Kinase (CK). GSK is also known to phosphorylate the insulin receptor (IRS), and thus controlling glucose metabolism.
The answer is 12.5%.
Each gram of protein has four calories. Therefore, 50 grams of protein contain 200 calories. In order to find the percentage of total energy intake that comes from protein, we need to do the division: 200/1600 * 100 = 12.5. Protein is needed for body growth and maintenance and energy.
D) Pituitary
The reason for the answer being choice D is because the pituitary gland is a small pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands.
The stomach is the correct answer it is lined with an digestive enzyme called pepsin.
