Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycogenolysis can still occur during exercise even if a person is administered a drug that blocks the Beta receptors for norepinephrine. This is because glycogenolysis is mainly regulated by the hormones epinephrine and glucagon, which are released from the adrenal glands and do not require norepinephrine for activation. Therefore, blocking the Beta receptors for norepinephrine has no effect on glycogenolysis.
