Answer: 1) Activation of glycogen phosphorylase by epinephrine
Explanation: Epinephrine acts on the beta-adrenergic receptors of liver and muscle cells, which activate protein kinase. This kinase then phosphorylates and activates glycogen phosphorylase, an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate, which is rapidly converted to glucose-6-phosphate for use in glycolysis or for release into the bloodstream to maintain glucose levels during stress.
