Which statement is NOT associated with controlling the rate of glycogen synthesis in the liver?
a. Insulin activates phosphoprotein phosphate 1
b. Glucagon inhibits the activity of glycogen synthase
c. Insulin induces the synthesis of hexokinase
d. Insulin activates glycogen synthase

Respuesta :

The answer is C.

Although Insulin induces the synthesis of hexokinase, hexokinas is used in glycolysis, not in glycogen synthesis.

The statement which is NOT associated with controlling the rate of glycogen synthesis in the liver is:

  • D. Insulin activates glycogen synthase

According to the given question, we can see that glycogen synthesis occurs in the liver and in this process, insulin activates phosphoprotein phosphate 1, and the glucagon inhibits the activity of glycogen synthase

As a result of this, we can see that the process which does not control the rate of glycogen synthesis is when the insulin activates glycogen synthase.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D
