Consider this pathway: epinephrine ? G protein-coupled receptor ? G protein ? adenylyl cyclase ? cAMP. The second messenger in this pathway is cAMP G protein-coupled receptor G protein adenylyl cyclase

Step 1
This receptor then activates the G protein. The G protein then activates adenylyl cyclase. Adenylyl cyclase then converts ATP into cyclic AMP (cAMP). Show more…

Consider this pathway: epinephrine $\rightarrow$ G protein-coupled receptor $\rightarrow G$ protein $\rightarrow$ adenylyl cyclase $\rightarrow$ cAMP. Identify the second messenger. $$ \begin{array}{ll}{\text { (A) } \operatorname{cAMP}} & {\text { (C) GTP }} \\ {\text { (B) Grotein }} & {\text { (D) adenylyl cyclase }}\end{array} $$

When a signaling molecule binds with a receptor, (a) G proteins are inactivated (b) a third messenger is activated (c) cell signaling is terminated (d) CAMP is produced by the receptor (e) the receptor becomes activated
