Description
- The fight or flight response relies on a fast reaction to the hormone adrenaline (epinephrine).
- One of the responses for liver and muscle cells is to quickly break down glycogen into glucose as an energy source.
- Cell signaling is crucial for this to happen.
- Your students will make a model of the cell signaling pathway that leads from the hormone receptor to the enzyme that breaks glycogen down.
- It covers G protein-coupled receptor, G protein, cyclic AMP as a second messenger, phosphorylation, and protein structure.
- By using dynamic models what can seem complex becomes clear.
