Question

Epinephrine, the fight-or-flight hormone, acts via cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP is a second messenger produced when adenosine triphosphate (ATP) undergoes an enzyme catalyzed reaction.a) Select the appropriate enzymes responsible for the production of cAMP and adenosine monophosphate (AMP).ATP --------(?)----------> cAMP ---------------(?)--------------> AMPOptions: adenylate cyclase, phosphodiesterase, ATPaseb) Draw the structure of cAMP

Answer 1

Adenylylate cyclase,phosphodiesterase

Step-by-step explanation:

Epenephrine the flight and fight hormone acts via cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP).cAMP is a second messenger produced when adenosine triphosphate(ATP) undergoes an enzyme catalyzed reaction.Enzymes responsible for production of cAMP and adenosine monophosphate are adenylate cyclase which helps in the formation of cAMP from ATP and phosphodiesterase which catalyzes the formation of 5" AMP from cAMP.
