Question
Chapter 11, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To propose: A mechanism for the activity of caffeine that accounts for the increase in alertness and sleeplessness.
Introduction: Epinephrine is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It reaches to the target cells through the blood and binds to its cell-surface receptors called G-protein coupled receptors. After binding, intracellular signaling cascade begins.

Plants in the genus Ephedra have been harvested for their active substance ephedrine for centuries. Ephedrine is used to reduce the symptoms of bronchitis and asthma, as a stimulant and study aid, and as an appetite suppressant. It is also the main ingredient in the illegal production of methamphetamine. Since 2006, the sale of ephedrine and related substances has been limited and monitored in the United States. One effect of ingesting ephedrine is greatly increased metabolism, which has been known to kill users of ephedrine. How might an increased metabolic rate cause death?
Given insulin's structure, where is its target likely
located?
Insulin's adverse side effects include headache, nau-
sea, hunger, confusion and weakness. What can these
symptoms be attributed to?
Insulin has major effects on muscle and adipose tissue. It increases the rate of glucose transport
across the cell membrane, decreases the rate of lipolysis, and increases uptake of triglycerides and
some amino acids from the blood. In doing so, what metabolic processes does it favor?
Carbohydrates:
Lipids:
Proteins:
Falling energy levels increase the cellular AMP/ATP ratio, priming AMPK for activation by the liver kinase B1 (LKB1). AMPK phosphorylates multiple targets with the cumulative effect of blocking anabolic reactions and stimulating energy-generating catabolic pathways.

- Based on your understanding of the binding of insulin, select all of the following events that you would expect to occur in muscle cells due to insulin binding to receptors.Group of answer choices a. Glycogen synthesis is activated b. PFK is stabilized in the R-state and glycolysis is activated c. GLUT4 (transporters) are increased in concentration at the plasma membrane d.
