Question

1. Which enzyme plays a role in regulating rhodopsin-induced closing of cation channels?

guanylyl cyclase

adenylyl cyclase

phosphodiesterase

guanylyl cyclase and phosphodiesterase

2. Which of the following events occur during the epinephrine-stimulated conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate?

activation of PKA by cAMP

inhibition of glycogen synthase

activation of glycogen phosphorylase

all of the above

a.

guanylyl cyclase

b.

adenylyl cyclase

c.

phosphodiesterase

d.

guanylyl cyclase and phosphodiesterase

Explanation / Answer

The answer for 1 is - d. Guanylyl Cyclase and Phosphodiesterase

During Visual phototransduction, they both help in the closure of the cation channels

The answer for 2 is - d. All of the above
