Question
In the liver, adrenaline signalling results inGroup of answer choicesDephosphorylation of glycogen synthase which decreases glycogenesis.The T state of Phosphofructokinase-1 is stabilised which increases glycolysis.Phosphorylation of the bifunctional PFK-2/FBPase-2 enzyme which increases glycolysis.Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase which increases glycogenolysis.
Solution
The correct answer is: Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase which increases glycogenolysis.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
Adrenaline is a hormone that is released in response to stress or danger. It prepares the body for a 'fight or flight' response by mobilizing energy reserves.
-
In the liver, one of the main effects of adrenaline is to stimulate the breakdown of glycogen, a stored form of glucose, into glucose that can be used for energy. This process is known as glycogenolysis.
-
The enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of glycogen into glucose is called glycogen phosphorylase.
-
Adrenaline signaling leads to the phosphorylation (addition of a phosphate group) of glycogen phosphorylase. This activates the enzyme and increases the rate of glycogenolysis, thereby providing the body with a quick source of energy.
The other options - dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase, stabilization of the T state of Phosphofructokinase-1, and phosphorylation of the bifunctional PFK

Glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are tightly regulated, opposing metabolic pathways that help control blood glucose levels. Glycolysis converts glucose to two pyruvate molecules, whereas gluconeogenesis consumes a net total of 6 NTPs (4 ATPs and 2 GTPs) to convert two pyruvate molecules back to glucose. When glycolysis is upregulated, gluconeogenesis is downregulated, and vice versa.As shown in Figure 1, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver are largely regulated by the allosteric action of the small molecule fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) on the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (F1,6BPase). PFK-1 is a kinase that uses ATP to phosphorylate fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) in an irreversible step of glycolysis, forming fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F1,6BP) and ADP. During gluconeogenesis, F1,6BPase removes the phosphate group by hydrolysis.Figure 1 Activities of (A) PFK-1 and (B) F1,6BPase on their respective substrates in the presence (solid lines) and absence (dashed lines) of F2,6BPA bifunctional enzyme that contains a phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK-2) domain and a fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (F2,6BPase) domain controls F2,6BP levels in the liver. The PFK-2 domain converts F6P to F2,6BP, and the F2,6BPase domain converts F2,6BP back to F6P. When blood glucose levels are low, the enzyme becomes phosphorylated. This phosphorylation event simultaneously activates the F2,6BPase domain and inactivates the PFK-2 domain. Under high blood glucose conditions, the enzyme becomes dephosphorylated, activating the PFK-2 domain and inactivating the F2,6BPase domain.Question 13Which metabolic process most likely provides the energy necessary for sustained gluconeogenesis?A.Fatty acid oxidationB.GlycogenolysisC.FermentationD.Pentose phosphate pathway
