Inside a Cell, Glucagon Ultimately Results in the Phosphorylation of a Wide

question 12

Essay

Inside a cell, glucagon ultimately results in the phosphorylation of a wide variety of enzymes to control their activity. For each of the following enzymes that is phosphorylated in response to glucagon binding, explain what happens to its activity and why that is important (considering the pathway that the enzyme is in and the overall goal of glucagon).
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase:
Pyruvate kinase:
Glycogen phosphorylase:
Phosphofructokinase-2:

Independent Variables

Variables in an experiment or model that are manipulated to observe their effect on dependent variables.

Life Expectancy

Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on factors like the year of their birth, their current age, and demographic factors.
