c. determined by upregulation
d. constant

3. Which source of glucose is used preferentially by exercising muscle?

a. from liver glycogenolysis
b. from muscle glycogenolysis
c. from liver gluconeogenesis
d. does not discriminate between sources of glucose

Answer 1

The correct answers are -

1. c. amino acid/protein-based

2. a. pulsatile

3. b. from muscle glycogenolysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonsteroid hormones are the hormones that are basically include modified amino acids, peptides, or proteins which makes them bind on the receptor present surface of the plasma membrane as they are not able to pass the membrane and generates a secondary messenger.

Most of the hormones are secreted in a pulsatile manner as they flow with the blood through arteries to the desired or target organ such as insulin, TRH, and others.

Muscle glycogenolysis is the process that provides glucose by the breakdown of the primary carbohydrates present in the muscles.
