(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The enzyme activated by cAMP.

Introduction: The enzyme adenylyl cyclase is involved in the conversion of ATP into cAMP. ATP stands for “adenosine triphosphate” while cAMP stands for “cyclic adenosine monophosphate.” Some enzymes and proteins need cAMP for their activity.
