Question 8 and 9. It is one question just misnumbered Biochemistry1. In the inositol signaling pathway, both IP, and diacylglycerol (DAG) are hormonal secondmessengers. If certain protein kinases in cells are activated by binding, how do IP3 and DAG act in acomplementary fashion to elicit cellular responses inside cells?2. In some forms of diabetes, a mutation in the D subunit of the insulin receptor abolishes the enzymaticactivity of that subunit. How does the mutation affect the cell's response to insulin? Can additionalinsulin (e.g., from injections) overcome the defect?J. At pH 7, tryptophan crosses a lipid bilayer at about one-thousandth the rate of indole, a closely relatedcompound: Suggest an explanation for this observation,4. The removal of fatty acids from triacylglycerols leaves glycerol. Show how the actions of glycerolkinase and glycerol-3-phosphatedehydrogenase on glycerol produce an intermediate of glycolysis.5. Adipocytes store fat in phospholipid-coated droplets in the cytosol. The protein perilipin is alsoassociated with the surface of the lipid droplet. (a) Describe the likely structure of the perilipinprotein. (b) Explain how phosphorylation of perilipin could help expose the lipids in the droplet todigestion by lipases.6. A deficiency of a citric acid cycle enzyme in both mitochondria and the cytosol of some tissues (e.g.,blood lymphocytes) results in severe neurological abnormalities in newborns. The disease ischaracterized by excretion in the urine of abnormally large amounts of a-ketoglutarate, succinate, andfumarate. What enzyme deficiency would lead to these symptoms?EGO7.

Question:- Explain why it makes sense for the PDH complex in liver to be active when dephosphorylated.
The epinephrine-mediated “amplificationcascade” of Figure 24.14 has six steps, all of which are catalyticwith one exception. This cascade leads to the activation of glycogenphosphorylase. This enzyme acts in turn on glycogen to yieldglucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P).(a) Which step is not catalytic?(b) If each catalytic step had a turnover (molecules of substrateacted on per molecule of enzyme) of 10, how many moleculesof G-1-P would result from one molecule of epinephrine?(c) What is the biochemical advantage of such a cascade?(d) How is the amplification cascade of this questionreversed?

I don't understand, can I get help? I have attached a picture of everything that will be needed to be annotated. Numerous signaling molecules work together in order for glucagon to induce the regulated release of glucose into the bloodstream. Construct an annotated list of each of these signaling molecules (as learned in the lecture video). For your annotated list, please use the format below. You will need to use this format for each molecule in the pathway that we learned. Name of Molecule:Type of Molecule:Is activated (or inhibited) by:Activates (or inhibits):
