Which of the following is carried out when cAMP functions as a second messenger Select one: a. Activates all cytosolic protein kinases b. Activates the cAMP-dependent protein kinase c. Acts second in importance to AMP d. Acts outside the cell to influence cellular processes

Which of the following correctly describes how cAMP acts as a second messenger? cAMP is produced by adenylate cyclase in response to G-protein activation, it activates many enzymes through cAMP-dependent protein phosphatase, and it is eliminated through cAMP phosphodiesterase. cAMP is produced by cAMP phosphodiesterase in response to G-protein activation, it activates many enzymes through cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and it is eliminated through adenylate cyclase. cAMP is produced by adenylate cyclase in response to G-protein activation, it activates many enzymes through cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and it is eliminated through cAMP phosphodiesterase. cAMP is produced by adenylate cyclase in response to G-protein deactivation, it activates many enzymes through cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and it is eliminated through cAMP phosphodiesterase.

Which of the following is incorrect about pathways activated by G-protein-coupled receptors? a. The extracellular signal is the first messenger. b. When activated, plasma membrane-bound G protein can switch on an effector. c. Second messengers enter the nucleus. d. ATP converts to cAMP to activate protein kinases. e. $\quad$ Protein kinases phosphorylate molecules to change cellular activity.
